The autos are a bit nasty to drive in my opinion. Being a 4 speed auto, in a small engined car just takes the power out of it. Not only that but when you do get the revs up, they drop out of lift with each gear change. Definitely not suited to the engine it's running. The 05s look great. Facelift t23's are hot.
Yeah she actually wanted the manual but it wasn't in stock so we had to settle with the auto. It does really suck some power out of it though..... it should at least be a 5-speed auto.
Yeah I'm having a hard time tracking down a manual one to test drive over here (New Zealand). I'm going to be importing a 6 speed manual with the 2zz-ge as soon as I get my Beemer sold. Looking forward to having a reliable Japper again. At least it wont keep me broke just trying to keep it running.
how much?

My mom has an 05' model in light blue but it's an automatic. Nice car!
