I test drove an auto but was never considering it at the time of my purchase, it was the only thing on the lot to drive so that's what I did. I enjoy the act of driving and have most of my life had smaller hi-peformance cars. Truth is most people with a car of any potential never push the cars past 4 or 5 tenths except maybe in srtaight line stop light gran prix. Such was my case, fast car that once a week would get loose and sliden' on my favorite s-bend off ramp. I mean that was it, once a week at best for a five second thrill (now don't even start on about what else that sounds like but, keep in mind have stupidly money gets spent for that also) Anyway the 5spd invloves the driver and you are required to participate if you want to get the most out of the vehicle. For me it is performance driving with a different mind set. Jeez, I never thought I'd be in the slow lane and liking it! You can of coures dive it any old way and still get better mileage and pollute less then almost anything else on the road with you but, if you pay attention you can can have fun and blow the doors off anything on the road with you in the arena if economy.
