Which would YOU KEEP?

05 6MT 135K Black/Beige

OR

05 Auto 98K WDP/Beige

I am honestly torn, the 6MT is amazing to drive but can get hectic in city and traffic.

The WDP IS OMG THE BEST COLOR IVE SEEN ON A CAR. It's honestly a car that shines when you see it.

Do I got for looks or 6MT? Hmmmmm

I'd go with the 6MT and get the car wrapped in a cool white vinyl.

Don't be a wuss. The traffic excuse is such a cop out.

6MT no question.

Remember, Honda made something like 1 manual transmission 3G-TL for every 40 automatics. Want an auto? Look under your seat cushions. I spent months finding my 6MT and would do it again.

You'll get better at traffic, look a few cars ahead instead of the one you're following. I find the manual to give more scale on the acceleration and makes you much more efficient with gas. I can roll very slowly or catch up quickly to bumper humpers. You'll barely use the brakes. If you do, you're doing something wrong.

always look at what traffic is doing ahead, and let off accelerator and give appropriate space

Mt for sure. I still kind of regret that I didn't get manual tl, but didn't have time to wait for one.

Doesn't any car? with the right amount of claybar and wax? Lol.....

I would argue that MRP and KBP shine much more elegantly than WDP in all forms of light..

Man this is a tough choice. The 6MT is amazing to drive so I am leaning towards keeping the 6mt. The WDP is my friends who is considering selling the car which is why I am thinking about selling mine and keeping his.

You wouldn't believe me the amount of TL's I have went through this year. Either way, I only come here for your opinions not to show off but rather gain some insight.

If you want to get bent over and bite the bullet, yeah. A wrap with labor can be as cheap as $1500 and up to $4000. Usually between 1500-3000 though, from what my friends' experiences.

Wouldn't even consider a black car, especially a Honda/Acura given all the issues they've had with the clear coat failing on darker cars. Keep looking for a 6 speed though.

Well, like Scott mentioned, if the NBP is in poor condition, I'd certainly consider a wrap on a car that I know has been well maintained.
I got quoted $1700...
but I'm too cheap
