I test drove a 2000 with the manual (170hp) and ended up getting an automatic instead. I thought the car tended to bog down right when you shifted into second gear, probably a function of the turbo lag and a slightly taller ratio than I would prefer for leisurely driving.
A lot of people are fine with the manual trannies though, I just prefer the automatic. It's especially responsive in sport mode. My wife normally drives this car and is very happy with it.
