Actually, it is the Manual. I probably didn't phrase my earlier message too well (typing during breaks at work, so I tend not to proof as well as I should ) - it has every option that was available in 2010 - Nav, Sport, Touring, Heated/Cooled seats/etc., and for the transmission I opted for the stick with the Synchro-RevMatch (which is quite fun).

I can understand the difficulty in finding a car that has these options, When I bought it back in 2010, there were only 3 available in the state of Texas, so they had to actually truck it down from around Dallas - this is also the reason that it's Platinum Graphite colored and not Monterey Blue (I didn't want to budge on any of the options, so I settled on the color).

The roadster's been nice so far, really fun on nice days - but down here it seems that it's either too hot, too cold, or there are too many mosquitos to put the top down (expecially during the long drive to work, been sunburned a couple times - I keep sunscreen nearby now lol). It tends to get nods and compliments from people even when it hasn't been washed in a while. Only thing that I can think of that's kinda tricky is the visibility when the top is up, but having driven trucks where I couldn't see out the rear-window before, it was pretty much a non-issue for me.
