The third pedal is also bad for re-sale value, on average selling for $2,000 less than cars with automatic transmissions.


That's because the purchase price is also less... you aren't paying for an automatic transmission.

And the part about fuel economy is also false. Manual>Auto

That being said, manual transmissions are awesome.
