Yep I would prefer a manual.
There was a 6 speed manual offered here but it was
very rare (as in next to none sold - the auto was the standard option) and I have no idea of the costs and parts needed to swap it over.
As it is rare then it wouldn't come up on ebay or breakers often. I suspect also it would take several years to pay for if I did decide to swap it.
BTW Hermann was £39K (~$50k) when new.
On the positive side the "Tiptronic" trans in the V6 models is more reliable than the "Multironic" unit in the 4 cyl models from what I have read - so lucky there.
