I put 250K on my automatic transmission. It was still going strong when my motor died. The upside is hand's free shifting if you'll be commuting with the car, or do a lot of city driving. The autos are quicker off the line as well IMHO. They get going in a hurry, especially in a turbo car. The down side is the whine of the tranny at 4K rpms when you're doing modern highway speeds. It can wear on you during a long trip.
I enjoyed my auto, it was in my daily driver, so it suited what I needed the car for.
