    Zath - is your "31mpg baby!" all highway, or a city/highway average? "get the one with the sport shift so you can at least manually tell the car what gear to be in" - the one i'll be checking out this sat has that feature.

    i'm definately a stick man myself but there are 3 things going against me getting one: 1) my gfriend doesn't know stick (and doesn't seem to enjoy learning) 2) i live in LA 3) the way i tend to drive stick i can guarantee my mpg will be lower than with an auto. my concern is that the auto will...
