I must be the minority in the US these days. Shouldn't a sport sedan have a manual transmission? What happened to all of the frustrated race car drivers out there? It is true that with the automatic all you do is press the right pedal and it goes! Fast! But you are not totally controlling the machine like you do with a manual transmission. The argument can be made that you are in more total control if you shift the gears, you operate the clutch, you derive pleasure in your shifting prowess. It does what you tell it to do. For those who "can't drive a manual transmission," you certainly could learn. And I believe that you would find it more rewarding. Otherwise, why waste your money; buy a Chevy Cavalier. You will never know the entire personality of your Aero if you don't shift your own gears. It has always been this way. It is this way in Europe. It will always come down to this.
