HAHA! I really like the manual too, it is hands down the better transmission I'll admit it. To be honest thought, I live in Austin and have to commute across town everyday so it is not very practical. I had a manual Toyota before this car so the commute gets old pretty quick with a stick. Plus the mileage was real low on this '09 and I used to work for the dealer that took it on trade so I basically got it for what they paid for it.
