Manual Transmission
Has anyone seen a manual transmission car yet? Are they available? I like the automatic, but I'd love to drive a manual tranny car for comparison.
My partner is really pushing for a Volvo C70 because of the convertible factor....anyone have any first hand experience with those?

You're going to have a hard time finding a manual C300...very few dealers in the country stock them as they don't sell very easily compared to the automatics. Usually people have to special order C-Classes for a third pedal.

I have a C70 and bought it new
It is absolutely fantastic. I'm not sure about the new ones but they got great reviews. I have the 1998-2004 model and love it! It has NEVER given me a problem and has a ton of miles fomr driving it up and down the country more than 100x at 80+ mph the whole time. Never had any issues and is in great shape. Good in any weather too and very very reliable and minimal to keep
this will be my other car after or if I purchase the 350

Manual Transmission for C300 W204
@RandyG:
manual transmission is not available for US market C300 W204; in Canada manual transmission is standard for the C300, and automatic transmission is an option for Canada.
Infos from the option list W204...

6-speed is offered with the C300 only in the U.S. The C350 gets the 7G-Tronic.

Manual transmission for C300 W204
As I had a look at the link above (mbusa.com) I must admit, my information was wrong - sorry for that. The option list for the W204 C300 I've got must be wrong...

Of course, there are always those that just love the manual regardless of the price and for them I'd like to see the 350 be offered with it as well. Even without a price reduction I'm sure they'd get a few takers. For some there is just something "pure" about doing it yourself.
Me personally, I've driven sportscars with manual tranny's for so long I'm ready for the ease of the auto.
