I was wondering if you guys are all automatics or some 5spd?? I am waitng for my RS5 5spd and still no word from the dealer!?!?!

 

Maybe it's still being routed to that dealer? How long you been waiting?

 

My dealer said that the factory was shipping autos first, the manuals would arrive "later", whatever that meant - I couldn't wait!! Now that I have a few miles on mine, I'm glad I bought the auto. I spend too much time sitting in traffic

 

automatic cause i do mostly city driving. Hope you hear something soon. What are your plans? stock or ?

 

I put a deposit on the RS5 in December from my local dealership and asked for the spoiler and foglights...Last week he also told me autos were coming out first...My plans are alarm, short shifter, rims, exhaust, HID's, and moonroof/sunroof visor

 

I've had my RS automatic since 2/13.

so far: nav/interior illum/foglights/spoiler/bumper applique
to do: rims/tint/remote start/alarm/custom shift ****

 

I'm waiting for paperwork to finish to drive my 5 speed out of the lot. Found it in Connecticut

 

I'm ordering a RS tomorrow, silver and gold xB's will compliment each other.
;)

 

I am Picking my RS5 #738 TODAY!!! The dealership has 2 RS5 5spds and 1 auto. Man I cant wait. They open in 1 hour soooo excited!!!

 

#110 is an automatic. I finally got the spoiler put on. Anybody else having trouble getting the gold spoiler?

 

The dealer told me they are on back order. How much did they charge you forthe spoiler and install??

 

When we ordered ours the Scion.com/release_series web site said $285 installed on
the main page and $335 installed if you clicked on the image. When ours was
delivered the site had changed to $423 installed. My dealership honored the $285 price.
It still took two weeks after delivery to get it here.

 

When I got mine, Scion.com said 320 installed. That's what I pd. Now it has gone up. There were only 500 spoilers made. Mine took a few days to get here, had to come from port on the West Coast.

A few weeks ago, a guy on Ebay had 7 spoilers for sale.

 

newscionparts.com has it listed for $290

 

Number 294 is a 5 speed....I liked my RS3 5 speed better

 

Rollie, what did you like about your RS3 better?

 

The clutch pedal in the RS5 is kind of mushy and doesn't seem to disengage unless pressed completely to the floor. I've been driving sticks for many years and I catch a grind evey so often. I'm afraid to ask dealer to adjust the throw for fear they'll make it worse. I'm going to give is a month to make sure its not me. The shifter is comfortable but seems to have a longer pattern than the RS3

 

Sounds like you might benefit from the TRD Quick Shifter:

#2500 is an automatic. i got an auto so my wife would be happy. the things we do for our girls.

 

#2500? Very cool!!! Can I ask where you put an overhead screen at w/ the sunroof? We thought we would have to go w/headrest monitors because of it.

btw...us girls appreciate the things you guys do for us......
