Kitsune, a true offroad would need manual due to the need for the driver to gear up and down in advance and not "after the fact" like automatic does. Automatic doesn't gear down approaching the hill, but on the hill, in an off road situation that can suck. (well..more so than normaly)

I'd love to know what percentage is manual on Subaru WRX. Which has always been presented as a rally car.

When I was shopping for a car, I desperatly tried to get a manual car that was comfy (for someone who's 6'6"), reliable and not too expensive. I found the task impssible.
3 Types of cars that can be found in manual easily:

1) Junker econoboxes. Base model civics etc.

2) Saabs

3) Sports cars.

Of those only 1 is cheap, but hadly reliable and far from comfy. So I drive a Chrysler Concorde..with an auto. (Not as bad as the auto in the Honda CRV or the Nissan Maxima)

Saabs are not too expensive, quite a good deal considering the retail, but those things are more expnsive to maintan than the space station.


Hey Wolf, Seen the Isuzu VehiCross? That looked like a fun car..
