also wait till you need your first trans service. autos take roughly 9-14 qrtz of synthetic trans fluid. @ 8-15$ a qrt plus the auto trans filter plus labor.

i worked at a shop did an 04 audi S4 auto trans service just changed filter and fluid ...400$ with labor.
That's because that is a European car!!!! Everything for them is overpriced. My RSX automatic cost $80.00 to change the fluids at my Honda mechanic who only fixes Honda/Acura products. His business name is Hond-A-cura techs and he has been fixing them for 22+ years.

Also I have been seeing people complaining about gears grinding in this manual transmission also. If it's not one thing its the other.
