It's good to hear some positive feedback on the CVT! Everyone else was dissing the CVT and singing the praises of the 5-spd and lean burn. Although well deserved I think I found a pretty darm good deal on this '04 CVT just 5 miles from where I live.
Also, I can't help but feel some destiny involved. Two of my last three cars were manuals including a '93 VW CORRADO SLC (VR6) that I thought was cool as hell and even more fun to drive. Problem is my right knee (which been hurting since 1978) didn't like clutching. Also injured the ulnar nerve in my right arm/hand (have a 50% VA disabilty as a result) so, as much as I love being sporty and/or economical, shifting is a pain - literally!
