Default Let's be real here.... I have a S4 with 6MT, but the

Tip/auto is very good. All depends on what he wants. In high traffic areas, the 6MT can be somewhat of a PITA, but all other times it is a blast. Careful with throwing names like "pu$$y" around for those who drive Tips, SMG, etc.

Default 3.0. You'll always regret going with a transmission you dont want...

I had an automatic Porsche and hated it even though it was blindingly fast. I gladly ended up getting rid of it for the manual one. Bolt a supercharger on that 3.0 and youll be quicker than and S4 and have the manual tranny, for cheaper. cheers! Mike

Default Yah but one would assume that if one needed 340hp, that one would not be driving around in

too much traffic, wouldn't one?

Default I faced that mirror too.. GO S4 PERIOD!!..

You won't regret, my payments were $65 more.. besides the gas of course.

If your can dealer can find a manual, take a strip of fabric, close ur eyes and go for it.
