Actually I think the horsepower is the same for the manual and auto SE engines, it is the torque that drops substantially. As to which to get, that's up to you. If you are just commuting and don't do much hard driving, get the auto, it will be easier in traffic. If you like to drive hard and may want to upgrade the power sometime, get the manual which can take quite a bit in upgraded horsepower and torque. In my case I inherited my wife's 03 convertible which. I'm going to upgrade the suspension (rear swaybar and steering rack brace) but leave the engine alone as I would be real nervous putting more torque through an the auto box. When I want to get serious, I will drive my 9-5 Aero which has a speedparts/BSR stage 1 upgrade.
