the automatic shifting isn't that bad either, from what I read.

that siad, MT all the way though
I'd say drive one if you can. It's a really good transmission for being a slush box. Great compromise if you ask me. I think most of the problem is that people think it's a gearbox from a 1980's Camry and immediately think it's trash, but I can honestly say I prefer it to my co-workers Evo X auto tranny.
