a manual is simpler to preserve and you have more control over the engine
I have a 01 jetta manual
I got it without knowing how to drive stick too but I learned quick
it's one of those things that's hard to explain but once you figure it out you realize how easy it is
I'd go with manual, but that is personal prefrence
things to think about
do you live in an area with lots of hills or traffic
I like manual b/c it give me something to do when cruising around town
good luck
and welcome to the VW family.I love my car..
