Jurgen,

Thanks. Really looking for feedback on the manual transmission. Lots of talk from those that have test driven that it is geared way too low and the clutch release isn't very good (causes stalling). I can't believe it...I'm sticking with the stick anyhow. Just wanted confirmation from those that own the 3.0 with stick shift.

I currently have a Saab 900, Miata, and a Harley-Davidson, so "sporty" is good. Just don't want too harsh a ride. Will take a little hit on handling for better overall ride quality. Plan to hunt and fish, but 95% on-road, potentially in the snowing parts of the US.
