Nothing wrong with an Auto plus you dont have to worry about the blown tranny the Manuals something have

The auto sucks! I should know. I bought an 04 but my girlfriend drives it about 90% of the time. I took it to the track and got blown away by everything on the start. The car is great in traffic and everywhere else. If you are going to drag, manual is best. Auto is good for daily driving in traffic etc. The auto shift really fast but I miss the launch from a standstill whereas my auto cannot light the tires up. You will be driving it so get what works for you.

To the initial question, I have always enjoyed a manual, I just don’t feel like I am in complete control without my stick. However, you know the guy and that’s an extremely good deal for a car with so little mileage. +1 to the guy before me, get whatever you like and tell everyone else to kiss it!! The auto just isn’t my thing.
PS, Don't think you will find a deal like that elseware.
PS, find out if he has had problems with tire feathering.

Brother, look at the performance figures.... you'd lose a drag race by a few miliseconds!!!
If get "blown away" by everything (yes even from a dig) than you need to work on your hand eye co-ordination.
Personally, I can light the tires up with my G sedan, just as well as I can on my friends 04, 05 MT G Sedans....
Please dont take any offence to this man
