Aaron, Maybe you should wait and see what the new living situation is going to be like before jumping into that. You’re still moving right? get settled and see what the financial situation looks like. If it fits into your budget, I think you know what to do. ---

Keep in mind with these flappy paddle gearboxes, the clutch will need to be replaced more often than a conventional row-it-yourself clutch. Keep in mind that SMG can be annoying. I’ve driven one and it’s barable. It’s not an intuitive as you would think. There’s this quirky lag going into and out of reverse. It’s a trade off between rolling into the car behind you and having very quick shifts. I’m not so sure it’s worth the hassle. ---

At the end of the day you have to look at affordability and personal preference. I would not even consider the car since it is SMG although it will shift quicker as many have pointed out. I just may change my mind about automatics when I’m 60 or so. If it were a good deal on a six speed then I would say go for it.
