Auto Mk3 VR6s

The manuals do fail as well but the difference is that you can pick up a second hand box for $500.

Auto's are just as cheap to buy second hand, its the rebuild thats more expensive if done properly!

Really? With all that torque down low I'd expect them to be easy as to learn in.

The torque does make them easier (hell, I learned to drive stick in a VR6) but the clutch isn't very forgiving. It's a hydraulic clutch, not a cable-actuated clutch so it's got quite a different feel to it, and it's very heavy - which is the sign of a Real Man's Clutch, and you do grow to love it after a while.

Not impossible to learn to drive in, but not as easy as, say, a Corolla.

The manual boxes in a VR6 are built pretty strong. Even when people race-prep a VR6, replacing the gearbox is one of the last things they'd be doing. As a whole, the engine and drivetrain in a VR6 is built pretty tough - forged internals, timing chains instead of belts and a good, strong gearbox.
