Yup B6 3.0 had 6 speed manual right from the beginning of the model cycle. The 1.8T, which the original poster was referring to, underwent the transition to 6 speed manual in the 2004 model year.

I'm not impressed with the performance if I need to floor it. It's pretty poor.
I need to drop it to 4th to get some good power. even droping it in 5th @ 100 is not good.

Only really when I'm doing 120-130 & I need to accelerate then I feel the power is decent when I'm in 6th.

Doesn't matter what car it is, if you want max acceleration from any given speed, then you have to be an appropriate gear.
