The automatic with the TDI are very solid.

It seems that most modded people who have auto's (like Kerma) are real happy with their tranny choice (no clutch to replace).

I prefer the manual, mainly because I've driven automatic cars all my life previous to my Passat TDI.

And it comes with the 11 mm pump if you go for an ALH engine (A4 pre PD).

The BEW comes with a 5 speed tiptronic or a 6 speed DSG in the New Beetle. :D
