Auto

Wanted manual, but I have too drive to and through DC almost everyday. So, yeah I don't think manual would be so fun in that situation;
495 = parking lot // 270 is not so hot either

I got a manuel!

And I have to tell you; I'm very glad I did that! I just got my 06' xB on Friday and its the learning experience I needed! Manuel transmission cars are the best and I'm having fun learning from scratch! - Becky

i prefer manual on most vehicles. i test drove both the auto and manual. i was happy with both so it really didnt matter too much to me. so i picked the auto because i liked the color better (BCP).
