Which is better for daily driving, not used at the track or anything like that, manual or auto?

Depends on the person. For the street I would take a M6 over an A4 any day. If you are a track *****/ street hustler, I would certainly suggest a stalled A4!

Depends on the type of traffic you have to deal with, for stop and go commuting, A4, if you don't have alot of traffic to deal with get the M6

I'd personally like to have a manual, but I couldn't find one with the options I liked, so I settled for an auto. Still been good to me though, but that mainly drag racing talking....

It does depent on the peerson, but for me M6 is too fun when you are on the street

If you don't want the hassle of changing gears all the time and you don't have to deal with alot of traffic get an auto, but the six speed will get you a little better gas mileage, and increase the fun to drive factor by 10.

what everyone siad here is pretty true, i love my m6 but my racing bird is to be a stalled A4

to reiterate a said "automatic is faster" comment, a *stalled* auto is faster, stock for mostly stock

i think the only case where auto si faster than m6 complete stock for stock, is somone who is new to the stick, or otherwise inexperienced

I prefer manual and I like to auto-x.

If you average more than 45 minutes of stop and go traffic a day, I reccomend getting an A4... but I love my M6... nice and tourquey through EVERY gear... not just 1st like most A4's...

Agreed. Buy what YOU like to drive. If you like rowing through gears, then go with the M6. If you're like me and don't like manuals, then get the A4. We could debate the whole drag racing consistency thing, but that doesn't concern your situation.

Whatever route you go, be sure to enjoy the car!

there's not really a justified debate...

a modded auto is going to autorun a modded standard everytime...

but you are right for her application it does not matter

Hmm, that explains why pro stock cars use automatic transmissions instead of manuals!

It is a proven fact that a manual trans loses less power than an auto (depending on what has been done to each). If this wasn't true, why do most heads-up classes add extra weight (anywhere from 50-150 lbs.) to a car running a manual transmission versus an automatic trans?? It is also easier to set-up a clutch for changing track conditions (slick or sticky) versus an automatic.

Not trying to be a dick, but just my $.02, flame on!
