dehijacking the thread, I bought auto because it was 22k(24 + all tax and crap) and was new 07, the manuals were.......29k and wouldn't bulge, so, what the hell, I can afford to lose a clutch, but now I miss it.......

anyhow, if you can buy auto for atleast 1 or 2k cheaper, I think its worth it, if same price, go with manual unless you really hate manual

did.......we scare him off?

Nope. Pay extra to have the manual. It's money well spent.

and its a great car a friend brought his 04 A/T with leather,but no bose it had 20k on it for 19k (from dealer) so I figured its about 19k if you can find a person selling
19k would be an epic rip off for that kind of mileage with an A/T. I along with others on the forum have picked up very low mileage M/T (under 20k) cars for sub 16k. These cars aren't reselling well, at least in my area and can be great buys. Not for 19k though.

Krankor is def. right - if you want AT for the right reasons then go for it. If it's just b/c you don't know how to drive MT, then get an MT and learn. You can do it, and there's no better time than now.

The other advice is dead on - if you do go with AT (for the right reasons ) then you should look for an 06 or 07 AT.

Like any car, there are pros and cons - take a look around the site and you'll find out what they are for the 8, and decide based on the right information. Good luck!

I had a civic si before my rx8 mt and I enjoy the increased performance of the rx8 mt, if I had the at, i would be disapointed. There are many more benefits of an rx8 over a civic / other econo-boxes, however, for 25k new, there are certain cars you just need to be faster then and the rx8 at isn't.
