STI. Manual gearbox. Gotta keep that stuff!

With all traffic in the city. It really takes the joy out of driving a manual. The X1 just arrived at the dealer today. Still have a little time to decide.

It's a crapshoot I'd say for me personally. Up until my last car, I had only driven manual cars. The F32 with the auto transmission was an impulse lease due to my E90 dying, but due to the pandemic I didn't drive nearly as much. Now that I have the X1, while I love the car, I also REALLY miss driving stick. So much so that I'm probably picking up a 3rd car soon. Traffic here also sucks, but even with that, I still want to drive a manual whenever I'm not working.

If you want a 6 year old boy racer, keep the Subie.
