Default Auto or man?

What would be a better car, a 98 Quattro with a Auto with a 2.8 or a 99 2.8 5 spd quattro? By better I mean can handle more power or faster, also like reliability?

the manual is better...it's more reliable, it's stronger, it's better for modding, it can shift faster....is the car you're looking at a 99 or a 99.5? mechanically they're pretty much the same car, but cosmetically they're very different.

Auto. Because I'm lazy. It's better for road sippers and eating burgers while your driving. I always spill my beer when I have to shift with a brew in my hand. I would put it in the cup holder, but I have no double-jointed elbow to put the beer in the Audi drink holder. I would put the brew between my legs, but that's just cold and would only serve to warm my beer and shrink my package; neither of which are desireable in my book.
