I did not know the Track comes in an auto for the Australian Market?

There are issues with the 03 6MT; mainly grinding with eventual transmission replacement for a few unlucky souls. If you can get a Track model with Auto, then I would consider that; especially if you spend most of your time in traffic, and the uncertainty of tranny failure in the 6MT.

i wouldnt worry about the 03 6MT tranny failures. yes there are some people on their 3rd or 4th tranny but the problems are few and far between. as for getting the auto, it may be preferable to you since you drive in a lot of city traffic, but like mentioned above I dont think the track comes in AT.. at least not in the states
