I know you said that it is fully loaded, but does that mean you got a V-6? If so, what do you think about the transmission? I heard that it is the weakest link and it sucks that there is no manual shifting for the AT.

Honestly, "manual shifting" on an atx is a joke.  On my Mazda6, I think I used it about twice before I realized how utterly pointless it was.  It's a sales gimmick, nothing more.  It's too slow to be useful, and too many auto-shift safety points.
[/quote] I agree, I was going off what I read about the transmission. At least with manual shifting you are able to hold gears for as long as you would like. What I have heard is that this tranny shifts at bad times during "spirited driving". Maybe we will see a chip similar to the one CP-E distributes for the 6.

By the way, what do you think about the shifter on your car? I thought the gear spacing was great, but the bulky shift knob has to go.

Wait a sec, what am I talking about. I was thinking you have a 5 speed.
