Did you get it from same dealer(trade it in)? Give us some more info. Yes the M/T gives you mose control and Power. They both have the same brakes and suspension, I'm surprised you felt that much besides more horse power. What was the miles on both? Was there a problem? Is that why you did this? Did you put much $$ in the '04?

as i had said earlier, my thoughts on the matter are that a manual transmission is the way to go. it gives you superior control over the vehicle. it allows you to be one withthe car. the reliability of the transmission, like anyting depends on how you treat it. it can be your best friend or your worst enemy. a sports car with an automatic is like having sex witha mute. you feel good when in the saddle but afterwards, you're yearning for more excitement. a manual transmission connects you with the car and is the transmission of choice for most enthusiests.
