That looks like a bargain! If like me you only did low miles that shouldn't be a worry as they wouldn't creep up more!

Oh and my initials are AAW

I don't think that mileage is bad. Under 12k a year.

that compared to your Impreza(s)?

the impreza I drove of my mates had the shortest most direct gear box of any car Ive driven, and that includes a 355 and an 08 Impreza, it felt absolutly fantastic

they all like that? he bought it slightly modded he never checked wether its been fitted with a short shift or not

I found smg rough as hell. Unless I was doing something wrong, not smooth when just driving normally either

It's a divided thing mate. Some people swear by the smg. It can't be that bad if it's good enough for the csl.

If you're gonna buy a drivers car it's gotta be manual IMO. I like to be in control

No clutch pedal is horrible IMO, i test drove the E36 SMG M3 and hated it.

Also you have a lot more control on a spirited drive with a manual/clutch.

Hmmm I'm not convinced.

The majority of supercars come with paddle shifters so it must have some benefits.

Where the hell is Colin when I need him lol

Shiney leather

Love the colour though, mileage isn't horrendous for age, I probably wouldn't buy one with that mileage though

My mate that owns it specifically waited for a Manual to come along.

Manuals are more "Fun" imo
