They still make one with three pedals?

That's why I'm hanging onto my 5, naturally aspirated with a stick.

Speaking of that, the lease is almost up on that watch you leased from me...Time to re-up or give up, Son.

They all come standard manual...PDK is an option. About 85% now are ordered with PDK.

Like you, I used to be in the manual camp, but the PDK double clutch provides instantaneous shifting without the loss of "feel" during shifting. It is probably the best tranny on the market right now.

Even many of the purists are now shifting over (pun intended).

Yea, I understand faster is faster. If I had a 'race' car I'd want that. For daily driver I want a manual. Same with my truck...if it were a rock crawler it would have a torque converter. For a daily though I want to pedal through them.

Buying new makes more sense if you can afford it and it's what you want to do.

Buying a vehicle a year old is always better than new, IMO. Let someone else take the big hit.

Unless you're really picky and there's just not what you want out there to be had. Some things are negotiable and some things are not.

Most 1 year old vehicles were rentals that the rental company sold at auction.
