Well if you have a decent car to drive in the winter i would probably get the vert. Otherwise i would only want a vert when the top is down and you cant always do that so i would go coupe. Stick by far, wish i had one so bad but found a good deal.

OMG you just opened a can of worms. You don't even know. Seriously.

Basically you just need to drive them both and choose YOUR preference. Everyone in this thread is going to tell you to get what they've got. Vert vs. coupe is pure opinion. I personally don't care for verts. I wish I had got a 5 speed, I got over anxious and had to have my car ASAP, so I jumped a bit early and got my car. But, my tune made my car danged near as fun to drive as a 5 speed FOR ME.

I looked at a 5 speed vert when I was shopping, but I got a 5 speed coupe instead. Verts look good with the top down, but with it up not so good....IMO

Reading all of these "Auto vs. Stick" threads makes me ashamed to be a part of these forums..... So many naive highschoolers

And honestly.... Making a thread like this... All you are going to get is opinions... Yes the Auto is a sluggish .1 slower in the 1/4 bone stock than the stick and the vert is maybe another .1-.2 slower......

Its all personal preferance... Get what you want.
