Never knew what a great manual trans. should feel like!

I think my 9^3 is going to be totaled (I have no problem divulging this because I'd never sell it without telling someone about the accident.) So, I'm test-driving cars including the TSX...holy crap. The shifter feels like it’s from an arcade machine...no resistance between gears. Yes, it's slower than a 9^3, but it's only $26k. Right, so is a Linear, but I couldn't get a Linear knowing that there's a Vector option. The implied reliability and evident seamlessness might be worth more than the decrease in performance.
Also going to test:
IS sport wagon thing (interior looks very busy, though)
A4 (heard it's floaty)
S60
G35 (Interior looks cheap)
Anyway, it was a rear-end collision (more on website.) I swear I felt the SAHR (not SARS) on the back of my head.
