I hate coupes, no matter what car company they are from. If there is a sedan version available, I buy it - it is more functional and, IMO, always the better looking one. There was no sedan version of the 135i (and 335i sedan was $7,000 more at minimum). It takes something pretty compelling to make me consider a coupe.

I'm assuming you don't like the 1 hatch either? I am in love with the 5-door version - they're so much more popular in Europe and Mexico (I don't even know if I saw a coupe in Mexico, but did see them very infrequently in Europe).
From the news over at 1 addicts (with the reliability of my car, I'm always looking for my next baby, since it's got one foot in the grave), they will be starting to offer the DCT relatively soon on the 1. I'd still prefer a manny, though.
For my money, Honda's manuals have always been my favorites (especially with a short shift kit). Mercedes should be ashamed of their manuals.

You're correct about Honda manuals, too.. they're great.
