This has been discussed ad infinitum on the boards. The gist of the advice is typically:
  • If you really want a 6MT, you should wait for one, otherwise you'll likely regret it
  • If you're used to driving MT, you should wait for one, ditto
  • If you typically drive auto, and the 6MT was a "this would be cool to have", auto and paddle shifters will likely be fine

I went in to buy a 6MT, but the shifters and AT characteristics (won't shift unless you do) achieves what I wanted. Many reviews have been negative about the stick shift vibrations and notchy clutch, but will let the MT drivers comment.

Good luck either way

JIC you haven't seen it, it's rather high on miles though.

I already tried to get that car... but Carmax/banks wont carry over negative equity over to the new car. If I've would of known that, I'd never have got my credit checked.

I'm a practical person who doesn't need all the bells and whistles. If it has it great, if not, oh well

But 24k is pretty nice though. Encouraging news if I want to sell my G anytime soon.

It's like dreaming of winning a scratch off ticket as opposed to Powerball.

My G is AT and i like it a lot because shifting is always on point. Ull never have the typical excuse of "I lost cause i missed a gear" also ive raced alot of cars with my G and ive noticed that AT hooks alot better at the line. I always beat 6mt off the line while there burning out I already left.
