That's the downside to you playing volleyball

The only downside I can think of is that it's not a 6spd

The only downside to a 5 Speed is that it's not a 6 Speed!!!!

6 Speed FTW!!!!!

I agree with what others said. If I couldnt of gotten a 5 speed I wouldnt have bought this car.

If I wanted a auto I would of gotten a ls or gs.

I've gotta agree with everyone else even though I've never driven a manual. My SC300 would've been sick with the 5 speed.

Downside of the 5 speed is that no one in my house can drive it in emergency situations.

5 speed FTW!
Could never see myself driving a AT one.
Only bad side would be getting into reverse sometimes because it just wont go in the damn gear! lol

OP just drive one...both auto and manual offer two different experiences. "5 speed FTW!" or "manual all the way" are hardly convincing arguments. Think about what kind of driving you will most likely be doing. But yeah, you do sacrifice convenience a little bit for more 'fun'.
