Great post Drelkor. Im conflicted. I have always wanted a manual scion xB but now that i can afford one i have a 35mile commute to work. I love driving a manual but the roads i take to work are all 55 and 60mph zones and i like that the auto keeps the RPMs lower. Any advice?

Have not recieved my car yet, but test drove both to figure out this very question... I went with the automatic because 1st gear was way too short. I found myself starting in 2nd to compensate. Just my 2 cents. I'm still waiting on the call. I'm told 3 days to 3 weeks out... it is in port somewhere.
