Dudu, 2 words - Tremec TKO!- 6-speed baby!!
A little expensive though. Really, the poor old XR is never going to be a 20 valve 4AG is it? You're not going to be able to wring it's neck at every given oppertunity are you? I mean, it'll have boot loads of go but it won't be a "sports" car, just a damn fast commuter. Go the auto. That thing ain't ever going to see wakefield or the creek is it? The auto will suit you 98% of the time, the other 2% you'll actually want a manual is when you come up against (INSERT-RICER-CAR-HERE) and want to blast them at the lights, and you'll be able to do that with the self-shifter anyway, only you won't have to lift your left hand.
Don't get me wrong, I'm in for a manual every time but I'm sure you have a celica/sprinter/corolla you can hammer on the weekends?
Just my 2¢

Oh, and about the price, I think the actuall transmission is more expensive to produce, they were more expensive even before computers were invented!
