and the final answer is.......................................2.4 liter 4 cylinder with the 5-speed. Kinda old man car - little sporty.

I had my wife sit in the driver seat and check it out (she had to leave for a meeting) and she was pumped to get a stick shift as she used to be a demon in her 4-speed European Capri.

Actually the autotragic gets 1 mpg better than the 5-speed.

Back in the day my dad had a sweet '83 Accord with a 5spd. I can't believe how small those cars were compared to the new Accord. I loved that thing, and would love one now.

Remember, if the starter craps out, you can push start the 5 speed.

And with the E36 M3ty old cars that I typically drive, that's a high-priority concern .
