If you're in a dry climate and don't need the 'X' Model, which is the All Wheel Drive, then get a 6MT Coupe I would recommend

 

Actually another note to get rid of the lag is to get a tune. I know for a fact that uprev does a very good job of getting rid the throttle lag. Once again get a 6MT if you are just committing close by and not a lot of traffic. Get a 7AT if your stuck in traffic 70% of the time like me.

Again you do not want to change gears every 3 seconds like me in traffic. I don't regret getting a 6MT but for my needs it would of been better to get a 7AT

 

I live in Los Angeles - so MT is never an option. It is much more fun to drive, you have more control and it is definately more engaging.

My average MPH is around 14mph. That's the price I pay for city. With the 7AT - I can still "play" a little with the paddles when I want, and the rest of time relax.

If I still lived in Texas, where I'm originally from, then I would have a MT because you can really "DRIVE" a car.

So - suburban area - go MT. Urban/city - go 7AT.

Just my .02.
