>>1835493why that layout? I prefer it as I like to be physically closer to reverse in case there's an emergency where I quickly need to reverse
why manual? it's generally more fuel efficient, better control on mountains, especially in icy conditions. and you can actually have them repaired instead of having to scrap the whole car when an automatic fails. I would ask: why buy an automatic from any make other than Toyota? it's going to be a disposable car.
