A few years ago i owned a Eclipse 5MT and i thought it was the funnest thing ever and then sold it because I was offered a fair amount for it. Next, I decided to purchase an auto Corolla S and regreted it regardless of the mpg's advantage
. I've driven SL 500's, SL 55, Audi A8 v10, Audi R8 with auto trannies and they drive amazing compared to my Corolla S and which dont even compare but I'm caught in the middle of missing the eclipse MT feel of shifting and how well built the modern AT's are in sports cars. On another note this car is going to be my DD.
