I'd take the Euro, but then I HATE automatic transmissions.

... is the manual a 4 or a 5 speed?
if it's a 5 speed, get the car at any cost. well don't spend 20K on it, but they are very very very very very rare and very very very very sought after.
a non turbo is NOT slow.
it has problems in high altitudes due to the thin air, and it has problems with steep grades at high speeds at altitude... other than that they are sweet. also, the euro may have the VERY sought after MYNA pump... mucho value there!@
and please if you do decide not to get the manual, Please list where it is here on the forum so a member can go get the car!
personally, unless it's a 5 speed, I would go for the coupe!

The M pump is only of value if you have it tweaked by Myna in Finland and install it on a modified turbo engine, otherwise it is just another injection pump.

The M-Pump supposedly makes the engine run better than the MW-pump. Might be something to do with the cam profile or its governor control.

Stricter emissions may be a reason why the US got the MW and the world got the M.

Interesting. I did not know that.
