Guess I'm jumping the gun a bit in asking this - since not many have had the chance.
I've driven both manual and auto - and I was shocked by how fun the auto actually is! Didn't push it hard because I didn't want to risk the car.
Was also very impressed by how nice the interior feels! Soft touch panels on the door, etc. - and even the "last inch auto up" on the windows. Not sure what that's called - like other sports cars - when you close the door, the windows automatically seal / move up an extra inch! haha
My order is in - still debating - Silver or Asphalt...
