I already have a 5 year old 911, I dont want to be dealing with two older car problems.

Should I go for a manual or auto? This will also be a car I drive when I am stuck in traffic.
Dsg transmission gti. Fun, quick, and has the hatch in case you ever need to move anything. And I am not a fan of hatchs either but the gti has grown on me. I just hate the plaid interiors some of them have :
