For starters, this car is the best little car I've ever owned and cannot imagine owning anything else!

In response to some of your questions.

How are these as daily drivers? From my limited test drive, it seems well built and should be quite reliable... real world is always a different story however, what's your opinion of them.

Mine is a daily drive and I love it! Cannot imagine having to sacrifice sitting in another car while she would sit at home!

Would you recommend the 6 spd over the auto? I've only had the chance to drive the auto as of yet, but hear the 6 spd is... well... not the greatest... but that's relative... is it like rowing a boat with 2' throws like a 1st gen talon... or more like my 2nd gen sebring, where it's a quick flick... maybe a 2" throw, although a firm throw.

I have the autostick and enjoy it immensely - city driving without worrying about the clutch while still having the ability to control the car with shifting is great!

If you get this car, you will fall in love!! PROMISE!
