Another mt owner, A lot have hated on the MT's but mine shifted smooth and drove nice. Gives the car a little more pep. Mine has been in the shop for almost 3 weeks but thats a whole other story... Good luck and enjoy a sexy car

Congrats! I actually love the redesigned '09 stock rims. Very clean and proportional.

The shifter feels alright, it's a little notchy from time to time in 1st and 2nd gears but from what I hear most of it goes away after you install the short shifter. As for not everyone knowing how to drive a manual, it's good and bad.

I am from the Montgomery County area of MD. The Maryland/Nova members should have a get together soon, it's almost spring and I would like to meet the local members and their rides. I think the NELOC is having an event later this month.

Woot to 6MT. I owned one but had to give it up for my gf's lack of driving skills. I picked up a scrawny 350 instead . There is not a day I miss my MT. Definitely get a short shifter, the difference is day and night. Congrads on Navi as well; it bothered me that I didn't have Navi. Now for FSport upgrades!!!

I have a 6Speed with navi and wood trim

Also being starfire pearl/black is something you don't see in our region for manuals.
