In 2011, I wanted an Eco-Cruze with 6sp. manual tranny. But the Chevy dealers wouldn't come down in price, plus they didn't have any! Went to Hyundai dealers for a cheaper manual tranny Elantra. Couldn't find one locally. Two years passed, & I got an Elantra at a lucky good price, altho it was an automatic. Liked the Elantra. Three years later I got a manual Elantra...... $8500 less than the Eco-Cruze. Them's that wait a while...... "MAY" get what they want. Anyhow, we have two Elantras now(same color THAT I LIKE!), an auto & a manual. I love them both, but my wife only likes the....... MANUAL TRANNY. Three of our four cars have manual trannies. Will four cars last, till we find another manual tranny that we don't have to pay an arm & a leg for?
