I'd would never get a used STI. Most of the guys I've seen in my area drive them thinking they're Ken Block.

As I mentioned previously, the RX8 R3 I drove I liked the seats at first, but on the 10 minute or so test drive, I realized that the thigh bolster was digging into my leg in a fashion that my left leg was falling asleep. I haven't had that problem in any other vehicle though. My Abarth has some decent bolsters on the seats but not too aggressive. It was definitely an adjustment from the Camry though.

Unrelated and off topic but i see you live in upstate sc, are you coming to cars and coffee greenville tomorrow? :)

(I agree the 6spd should have been standard though)

5 spd was for standard models, S models got the 6 spd

Nope - I was right, the 6 speed was an option on the 2.7 engine (and standard on the 3.4, as you said):

Also from Wiki:
"A 5-speed manual transaxle is standard on the normal Cayman (G87.01), while a 6-speed manual (Getrag 466) is the default for the S (G87.21) and an option on the normal (A87.20)."

Never knew it was an option on the base model. Wonder how many are out there, I don't remember seeing any when I was looking.

Drove the Fiesta with the recaros, tight tight fit, but nice seats.

I love both these cars, why cant I have both.
