I find the MT much more enjoyable to drive as it gives me something to do. For me the MT is just plain more fun!

Re: assist battery issue??
On anotehr note, my battery light has turned on before when I first got the car before my first fill up. All it seems to have been is the gas cap wasn't on tight enough. What I mean is, the area next to the gas cap has a sticker (Or maybe it's on the cap?) that says if you don't click it on 3 times the battery light may come on. Ever since I've been putting on the cap (Note the only time this has happened was before I filled the car) it hasn't happened.

I think you mean motor light or engine light. There is a battery light (it looks like a battery with + - terminals) and an engine light (looks like an engine). The engine light is the one that comes on when your cap is not on tight enough (happened to me twice).
