You just have to be willing to drop the $995.00 cost of the option.

The 5 speed auto has a 2550 stall lock up convertor and the first 3 gears are closely spaced it does a really good job of keeping the engine right in the middle of it's power band. It's also very quick to respond to input from the acclerator however...
Despite how good it is, I have always preffered a manual. They are just more fun and really put you in touch with the whole driving experience.
Yup, get the manual.

You guys forget that although it is fun to drive a manual, after a while you realize its work. Also am I the only one who wants a free hand when I'm driving with the ladies?
