Which 5008?

Finally taking your advice (after a while) and downsizing from Caravelle and multiple cars to a Peugeot 5008 for family and small cheap car for kids. Which 5008? Choice = Allure, diesel manual, Active, diesel, auto EGC? Wasn't entirely sure about the automatic but I drive a manual at the moment?

The 1.6HDI 115 with 6 speed manual box is best. Test and video here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/peugeot/peugeot-50.../
I ran the same engine and transmission in a Mazda 5 for a year and 11,000 miles and they proved ideally matched, averaging nearly 50mpg.
