unfortunately,in THIS car,especially,THIS car,the 'fun"experience of total
control of the vehicle IS the "deal maker" for me! in MY view,a "slush box" is just something else to go wrong over time! damn thing really brings nothin' to the table,EXCEPT to possibly develop issues over a period of time,whereas
there is really nothing to go wrong with a "direct drive" tranny,except maybe a "throw-out" bearing after a very long,long time,and this can really only happen if ya "ride" the clutch.paddle shifters? poor substitute for a real manual! not even close! gotta keep in mind,when ya do the "slush" thing,ya give up control of the car to a computer,and that sure as hell is NO fun in my book!..just sayin'..getting my 6 speed (m.t.)
very soon!

in a car like this is difficult to grasp! if ya want better fuel economy,what are ya doin' in THIS car? it's a driver's car!..(w.t.f!) put the damn thing in a (s.u.v.)
or a prius! ehe! he! he!..

at least here in new england,dealers DO HAVE the car,BUT 9 out of 10
of 'em are '"slush boxes" what he says is really very accurate,and it's because
MOST people who are going to buy this car WILL get the m.t for ALL the right reasons! this a sports car!,NOT a "pig" s.u.v. just sayin'

any other car,i would say yes! go ''slush" box,but not this one!

and gotta say i'm lookin' for a change! got damn little to do with growing old,or being lazy,just getting sick of shifting all the time,and since i drove both,i determined,at least to me,that i can STILL have a ''ton" of fun with the ''slush box",and don't miss the stick at all...just sayin'
