Actually for certain locals and people they must be fine. A few of our members really like theirs. I just find with even the stick usually trying to get everything possible out of them. I still like them as well. I even tried the drive it like you stold it thing. Did not work out as no car theif travels that slow.
What I really meant to be understood is "....cheap enough to afford a stick conversion."
