5 speed vs. Automatic
+1
Most 4 cylinder autos are shitty to drive. No torque down low and you can't keep it in the powerband so the tranny is always lunging up and down whenever you want the minimal acceleration the car is capable of even at full tilt. I would only do a 4 cylinder auto as a drag race thing. A built AWD auto 4g63 is a wonderful thing.

my auto stick is prettty cool it will let you stay in gear all the way up to rev limiter and it shifts when you tell it that the cool thing.. but i got to give it to you about it hunting for gears in auto mode it will down shift to much or not at all but push it over to the auto stick mode!! like a different car!

..its called a full manual valve body with engine braking.
better power transfer, less unsettlement during up and down shifts for people who cant heel/toe or double clutch well, and your not going to miss a gear unless you really just get confused.

can most people afford that?
i can't, i'm sure alot of others here can't, maybe i don't know shit...but i know I would rather drive a standard transmission than the automatic that would come in the car he is buying

yes. considering you'll spend 150+ on a cold air intake that could be done for 10...you'll buy 1000 dollar chrome wheels, you'll put a system in your car, or you may spend 450+ dollars on an exhaust system...
so yea...most people can afford a measly 250-400 dollars and a couple hours to replace a valve body.
