Sweet 2 other people who like the auto! I love mine....I had the a euro 300d with a factory 4 speed stick....while I loved that car, a euro spec is like night and day to an us spec...but man a manual got so tired some...trying to stop n go on a huge hill and getting stuck in rush hour traffic....it was a pain! Granted I miss it when I approach a step hill, harder to kick the auto down...but I love the auto! Just put it in drive and go...oh yeh my car is the same color as your...minus the patina
