Just make sure that automatic is a 6-speed -- if it's only got 4 gears forget about it. You might get lucky and not need to replace it for a while, but why take the risk?
By the way, 6-speed transmissions come in either "Tiptronic" or "DSG" varieties. The DSG uses two computer-controlled clutches instead of a torque converter, and is both more efficient and faster-shifting than the Tiptronic, but is only found on TDIs (i.e., Diesels). The Tiptronic, however, has the advantage of likely being cheaper to fix.
I'd still go for a good old-fashioned manual, though!
