as for light weight....I guess it be nice. I was just referring to Rays being light as another positive thing about em.

and the whole exclusive/rare thing I dont care for at all.....most of the time haha

Here is another reason to buy manual(the review got it spot on about the droning):

Meanwhile, the 180-hp four-cylinder engine provides good power for the class, especially down low in the rev range. If you're game for shifting your own gears, the six-speed manual is the best choice, as the engine accelerates significantly quicker and doesn't seem to suffer from the rather agricultural droning that plagues it when the automatic transmission is in place.

sorry to hear that man...

that's why u gotta go to where the weather is nice! the only reason why i'm waiting is because i have other plans in the meantime and dont want to tie up so much $ all at once.

it mainly depends on how much i can get the coilovers...the cheaper i can get it the more i will be okay to spend on rims.

i MIGHT be able to get hooked up on some faulkens so i'm not super worried on tires...just gota know my sizes

Descendant with auto isnt very pleasant in the cabin when the car cant decide what to do with the gears

this is TOTALLY correct. I find myself using the shift mode a lot more since installing my exhaust. NOT to be a kool kid and redline every gear...but to minimize droning by trying to force the car to make up its mind.

If I could do it all over again, I would have gone manual...but you live and you learn. It was my first car buy out of college.
