Personally I would not compromise auto vs manual just because I did not want to wait. Compared to the amount of cash being invested and the time you will have the car it is worth slogging it out to get what you want.

i checked out the z4 roadster recently. I think the throws on both cars (z4 and 05 c) are about the same.

Looks like I'll be picking up my 05 6spd, pewter, Xenon, Sunroof, black leather inserts, entertainment pkg.................I'm not sure how they found this car for me, but they did.
I really didn't want the sunroof, but I would've definitely had to order a car in order to get one built in the color I wanted with a manual.
I'm excited!

Citron,
What style XM radio do you have? Where did you mount it?
I have the panasonic in my GTI with the perfect mounting location (looks factory) just wondering how you have yours set up.

mine looks just like this install. this is the thread i got the idea from. though i have COMAND and the XM is hardwired to the aux input of my COMAND. but mounted in the ashtray just like this one.

The C-class sport sedans don't have the power of the WRX STI but they look so sleek.

guys,
I got a pretty stupid question to ask:
on the 6-speeds, how do you guys put on the parking brake ?
(1) do you turn off the engine while in 1st gear and then put on the parking brake
or
(2) do you shift into neutral and put on the parking brake and then turn off the engine.
I'm used to the hand parking brake (in bmw) and this left leg parking brake is confusing me
right now I am doing the (1)
thanks a lot.

You could never get thaty smooth in the WRX. completely different cars. Although my rex had much more power. The power on the 05 is very livable
