I am not too picky, but want to be able to count on the car. To be honest, the manual trans is pretty attractive to me...I suspect the acceleration and the mileage are better and there are fewer things to break. The 4 speed also has manual windows, doesn't this mean I avoid all the vacuum system business. I mean, it has 100K more miles, but that is more my style.
