I have asked the dealer to call me when he has a manual demonstrator for a test drive. Having said that, I still may opt for an auto cause the traffic here in Melbourne sucks and is only going to get worse cause our lousy government is bringing in immigrants and doing NOTHING about our roads or public transport system.
So now waiting for the dealer to call
And it will always be missing too. To trade this excitement for .1 seconds 0-60, is the choice. I made mine. Good luck with yours.
