2005 C230K Sport Sedan, 6 speed manual
Checking in, 6-speed manual. Cars with automatics don't live at my house. All cars my wife and I own are manuals (we are both manual transmission fanatics).

You know 3 pedals rock when the SA says "Hmmm... think i'll park this one myself", instead of handing the keys to the parking advisor.
6 speed on both and NO REGRETS!!!

Only way to go with M111 or M271
When I test drove an auto, it was major
to get any reasonable performance.

I have driven a stick a few times, but want to learn this summer. Any suggestions or tips on driving and learning? I asked local driving schools if offer lessons, but they only have automatics.

2005 C230 Sedan 6spd
I guess the only time I would buy a "auto" is probably when the vehicle has a LOT of torque. Say over 300 Ib/ft on a regular car that weights less than 2 tons (this ratio seems to be good)
