5 speed gear pros:
-better power band?
-quicker acceleration
-easier in traffic (manual)
cons
-less mpg
what do you guys think?

What??
if you have a 5 speed you'd have a worse power band and less accel as the gearing would be longer to compensate for the missing gear and having a 5th gear OD.
Example... my of 5speed mustang hit 101 MPH on 3rd... and redline was 6K RPM. Where you need 4th in the FR-S to even reach 100.
