Default That's funny, and I agree it's a lame coin holder.

Seems like a better use would be for holding the small tickets you get when parking in certain parking lots...

So for button addicts they can pop out the coin holder and pop in hill hold / parking buttons ;-)

Default I use it exactly for that - tickets for parking garages, etc. Works great. I store coins ...

In the ashtray compartment...safe and secure and can hold a decent amount of quarters.

Default Mine is a Tip...

Believe it or not, and contrary to popular desires, I am glad it's an automatic. The last few cars that I've owned have been manual transmission and clutching through stop and go city traffic has gotten old (or perhaps it is just a high who has gotten old). When I finally got the car with the auto tranny I yelled out, "Hallelujah!"

Default Yeah, it does get old for sure.

And good on you for getting something you'll be happy and comfortable with...

The reason I asked though, was that if it were a 6MT, yours would be the first US-spec S-Line on the board, and was wondering if the shifter looked different than the one posted earlier.

It works better if you're in a country with thick, expensive coins

Your dealer was guessing as they are sometines wont to do. It's definitely not that.
