Yeah lol, those of us in NoVA really suffer... haha I have about a 45 min commute for like 17 miles, lol and I got the MT cause that isnt bad at all

LOL yeah, I guess I have higher standards in a town like Ottawa.

But I mostly got it because of the wife, not the commute. I do like having the option of not shifting gears, even though shifting with a cluch is fun.

Well, it's a "town", or a small city. I don't know what the criteria is for being a "city".

Traffic in Ottawa is the same as in Quebec City --> only busy for 30 minutes (time for all the white collar workers to go home)

I don't know how this ended up talking about Ottawa, but Ottawa is definitely a city. It has a little over 1 million people living there.

If I remember my highschool geography, I believe it goes like this:
Settlement: 200 - 1999 people
Village: 2,000 - 19,999 people
Town: 20,000 - 199,999 people
City: 200,000+ people

I think that depends on who you're selling it to.

When do you ever know who you're selling to?

Just like new, An AT car will have far more potential customers.

My cousin learned that the hard way selling his 99 Accord Sedan MT. Took him 4 months to find a buyer.

TSX is a different beast though. Alot more people can appreciate an MT in this type of car.
