Went with the manual transmission.Would not have gone any other way metroMPG.Was a bit of a hassle to find the car I wanted because I did not want steel wheels with hubcaps as i wanted the Alloy wheels and also cruise control was another want so to find this car with those options and the color was a bit time consuming dealing with a couple dealers and the price I was willing to pay out the door.

The MSRP was 15,700.00....Got the new lil blue out the door for 13k so I felt good about that deal.

So far best tank of gas is 42mpg and that was the last fillup yesterday.It has gotten better since I would think at a bit over 2k miles it is broke in.1st few tanks of gas were 38-39 mpg.

Will try and start a Spark thread this weekend.
