I hated auto's until I got the wagon, had never even owned one before.
For a skyline I would almost 100% go manual, but for a daily I would consider auto.. driving my 2-way'd button clutch'd 32 in to the city every day, while amusing, could get a little tiresome.
For the wagon, I didn't even contemplate manual really.. with all the extra weight, 4WD and the way I like to use my clutch I would destroy things quite quickly
