Get your trans checked.

The 1-2 and 2-1 can feel clunky (probably because 2 and up has full lock up), but in general, unless you just hate autos, this is the trans that has changed the mind of traditional "MT only" car guys.

Yes and no. If I were to do it over again I would give more consideration to the 6MT. This auto is nice, no doubt. I've always driven stick but lately there's too much stressing my life and I wanted an easier commute. I would rather listen to tunes and not focus as much on the drive every morning and afternoon with the rest of the sheep.

If this was my weekend toy no doubt about it...6MT. I bought this to be my 'practical' DD.

This auto works just fine and the manual mode is great. The car has more than enough power for canyon runs with the auto and never feels slow at all. I do miss the clutch when there is no traffic or when I'm getting on it, but I have other vehicles for that.

Can't go wrong either way, both are great. If you don't mind stick shift in traffic get the 6MT. I did it for almost 20 years straight and was ok with it, but wanted something different for this car since I'll keep it about 6-8 years.

Only really read the first page here, but it sounds like you got a lemon for sure. Your trans doesn't operate like it should. On a side note, when you switch over from D to M, the trans goes into 5th gear for easy passing. I think it's a handy feature. Better than just pressing the pedal down and jumping from 7th to 3rd.

Definitely get the window auto-roll down circuit checked and have your transmission checked too. And then quit whining about everything else. Your life will become much more calm. Self-leveling headlights ? Are you serious ?
If you are buying a car for the gimmicks you should not be buying a real sports car.
