I am so tired of all the "be afraid of the automatic" tirades on this board. Especially when the manual trans in known for pinion failure.
Either transmission will stand up just fine if properly maintained and not abused. The fact that this car doesn't have a turbo means there is a better chance that the transmission is fine.
My only concern would be the lack of a turbo. This car will be slow!!!
If you're buying it for easy trips, fine. Just don't expect it to get out on the highway and run fast or have alot of passing power.
