You guys may laugh, buy my main reason for getting the manual is the way it looks. I can drive a manual fine, and would probably be just as happy with the auto, but I cant stand the way the center console looks with the auto shfter stick/interface. I really dont mean to flame at all, but to me it looks a little to femalish
Please dont take my last statement the wrong way. I have driven an eclipse for years and constantly been told I have a girls car. LOL. It is just my opinion.
