re: clutch -- I'm not a stick fanatic, but I just miss it occasionally. Sometimes you can get a peppier engine and better gas mileage with a standard tran-but not always. Idk where I heard that you have to replace the clutch--something I read.
Probably the Mazdaspeed3 is what I'd be looking at from Mazda. I think the 5 is not what I'm looking for. The Kias . . . if I were to look at any of those, it'd be the Soul. I like the "boxy" segment
