New to Acurazine! Planning on making a 3G TL Purchase

Hey guys,
I've been looking around for a new car for the last couple of months now and I've decided to join the community!
I'm planning on purchasing a 04-05 Acura Tl with about 60k and over mileage.
Should I get MT or Automatic?
Any concerns I should be worried about? Reliability Issues. I understand there are some recalls regarding come hoses for the 04 model. I've been doing alot of research and reading from you guys. You guys are great by the way. I'm now just looking for any feedback.
Any comments? Any advice? Any appraisal? All comments are welcomed! Please I need all the help I can get in making this purchase.
This is my first post by the way - and the name's David.

Whats up David!

You must get the 6MT! You'll appreciate it every single day Any reason why your looking for one with 60K or over? I would try to find something with a little less miles.

Hey, welcome to the forum David. 6mt is cool. I'd try to find one with a Navi as well. The Navi is very handy the makes the console look much better.

Nice nice. I'm leaning towards the 6 Speed MT. I'm currently driving a 02 Lancer MT. Thanks so much for the feedback so far. How about any concerns or things I should worry about? I found some forums that stated the transmission on the 6MT is stronger. Anyone have a 6MT with well over 100k miles?
