it depends on what you want..
but I rather get 6MT since you can always get an aftermarket NAV system!
get 6MT and if you are really in need of NAV just get an aftermarket one
it shouldn't cost you that much!

If you had to choose, what would you do? I'm hoping to pick one up sooner than later, so any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
6mt works for me. you can always add nav down the road

+1 on what he said
I always loved my 6MT plus STOCK Navi!
save little bit more and get exactly what you want!
I always loved to see the Navi poping up when I turned on my G...

If I had to choose one, it would be the 6MT. Have been driving a manual for almost 30 years and will always have one around.

Yeah, it's not too common seeing a 6MT with navigation. I reason I think is that navigation is a luxury. The consumers that want luxury would most likely want the comfort of an automatic. And for the consumers that want the performance of a 6MT, they could do without that $1800 nav.

I would get the 6MT, and install a double din nav. Those setups actually look pretty clean.

If you get the auto/nav, you might regret it, and converting to a 6MT would just not be worth it.

I have both, so I can't vote I guess..... Then again, if I just HAD to have one without the other..... 6MT hands down! Like a few others have said, you can save up the money and go aftermarket for the Navi at any time after the purchase. There's even someone who managed to do install a stock setup using eBay and used parts. But you really can't change the transmission...ok ok, you can but the headache isn't worth it.

I'd look harder.. and find a 6mt w/ navi..
Actually i had both.. 05 auto w/ navi and
now 06 6mt w/ navi.. to tell you the truth..
i love the way stock navi looks.. i hate the
cubby when theres notthing there.. but
your better off w/ the 6mt..

But my next project is the DD w/ my stock Navi..
I helped my friend do it to his 03 G and it
looks soo nice.. Two screens...
