I drove a stick for 10 years till I met with and accident and had to be medivac'd - and was forced to buy an AT (with the usual reasons saying a stick makes you a rash driver etc etc) - but now I want to be more engaged with my driving experience.

What I haven't seen in the thread was the other piece for me - practicality. First thing I did at the dealer was climb in back - I'm 6' and I fit, wouldn't ride back there for long, but it works. My kids love riding in back...
I am 6'3" with a daughter who is almost 6' - during my test drive I found the interior fit me like a cockpit (unlike the miata-rf that I test drove and was kinda tight wrt interior space).
