I have the automatic version of the car but you only really need to put it into automanual if you decide you want to have some fun on windy roads.  I heard the manual version also gets going from a start faster, there is slight throttle delay from a stop.  Even though the car is small, intelligent interior design lead to a comfortable back seat with enough leg room for people under 6'2.  I have what I guess is a loaded version of the car, leather feels great and wears slowly, the six CD changer is easy to use and sounds great played through the upgraded sound system.  Other nice features include one-touch up/down windows and one-touch open/close sun roof and there is even a button on the remote that turns on all interior and exterior lights for 30 seconds to help you find your car in a parking lot at night.  The car is a great alternative for someone who is looking for performance and safety found in a car like a subaru wrx but wants something more mature and doesn't want "another 3 series".

Pros: Handling, Smooth acceleration, ride comfort, AWD, fuel economy (for an awd car 23.2mpg city only), low maintenance.
Cons: Initial throttle hesitation from a stop (automatic trans.). Nothing else.
