I'm just a little paranoid about the auto

I have a lot of confidence in a 9K that has been dealer-serviced from new (as most of them are in the UK up until at least 100K miles and often much more). It's just that the auto is a bit of an unknown for me (I don't like driving autos can't see me ever owning any other than this one) and I hear horror stories. I wouldn't have gone ahead with it had the 2.0 LPT not been acceptable in terms of power output, as from what I've read I believe a large number of the auto reliability problems are related to the potential for transmission abuse of the 2.3Ts. Naturally, not all drivers abuse the transmission, but of those who do, I think the 2.0 LPT drivers are more likely to get away with it. Of course, I could have gone for a low-mileage 2.3T, but then it would have been beyond my price range and expensive to insure.
Life is full of compromises...
