I just got back from the dealership. I brought my car in the have the rotors and brake pads checked, sunroof squeak fixed, and the VSA light looked at(it seems to glow a little after my lights have been on). They said they would turn my rotors and give me new pads. They will put that tape stuff on the sunroof. They said that they never heard of the VSA light thing. I will keep y'all posted on the outcome.

All right. While I was there, I had to test drive the '03 Six Speed.

First off, I did I thorough visual inspection.

Interior - I love the titanium (too bad you can't buy just it. They said you have to get the whole door panel).
They did a great job with the center console and shifter.

Exterior - They can keep the headlights. I rather the old taillights as well.

Driving - Definitely not like any other manual I have ever driven. There is no easing on the clutch. It is either engaged or not. It grabs instantly. Very, Very, Very close and low gearing on the low end. You have to be ready to give it the gas in 2nd or it feels like you down shifted back to 1st, which is real good if you are racing but not good for everyday. I did not feel much of a different in the low end, but you can definitely feel more acceleration in the higher gears. The car pulls good 1st - 5th. 6th is just a cruising gear, which is good for gas mileage. The six speed is exactly what it needed.

But, it comes down to what you want. To shift or not to shift?
