Replying to: wwest (Jan 09, 2009 1:13 pm) I had a 5 speed FWD for 17 years and the insurance was cheap. I don't hear Subaru owners with MTs complaining about their insurance rates either. I don't think there's any factual basis for your assertion.

Replying to: steve_ (Jan 09, 2009 7:15 pm) Just have a look at how many FWD sticks are now discontinued. Replies to this message: steve_ (Jan 09, 2009 9:38 pm) wwest (Jan 10, 2009 8:36 am) tlong (Jan 09, 2009 9:59 pm)

Replying to: wwest (Jan 09, 2009 9:19 pm) Yeah, but it's not because of insurance or safety. Can't eat, drink the Starbucks, and drive stick too good.   The Future Of The Manual Transmission Replies to this message: wwest (Jan 10, 2009 8:36 am)

Replying to: wwest (Jan 09, 2009 9:19 pm) Just a thought, people should consider the Mazda 5. Very highly rated, it is like a very small minivan or wagon (only considered like a minivan because of sliding doors). We cross-shopped the CRV with the Mazda 5 and chose it because:   - higher than a car but lower than an SUV - MUCH better handling with extremely tight turning circle - handles like a Mazda 3 - Seats 6 in three rows, but can fold rear seats for cargo room - Bargain priced, fully loaded with nav, leather, bluetooth, heated seats around $25K - Outstanding crash test scores - Better mileage than CRV or RAV4 - Sliding doors mean no doors swinging out in tight parking spots - Available with a stick shift if desired

Replying to: steve_ (Jan 09, 2009 9:38 pm) Hmmm..   Maybe that's why I have only 20k miles on my '01 Porsche C4........   It's either take my wife along as a "holder" or no Starbucks.

Replying to: wwest (Jan 09, 2009 1:13 pm) Just FYI. I work in an Insurance agency and the MT cars are less expensive to insure simply because replacement value is less. Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Jan 12, 2009 10:46 am)

Replying to: phisher (Jan 12, 2009 8:38 am) Just FYI. I work in an Insurance agency and the MT cars are less expensive to insure simply because replacement value is less.   Also, theft rates are a lot lower. New generation of joy riders have no clue what to do with the 3rd pedal.   They have grown up with their parents driving slushbox minivans, and their computer games always shifted for them.   There was an article in the paper about these car thieves that just sat in a manual Accord trying to figure out how to get it going! The police caught them while they were still trying to figure out how to put it in "drive"

Replying to: Sporin (Jan 12, 2006 6:34 am) My wife has the Rav-4 $28k and I have the CX-7 $24K, I think the Rav-4 have more room in the back row and it reclines love that thing, other thing that I love is the MP3 input for my Ipod, I wish the CX-7 has that option.
#44 of 47 Love CX-7 seats by ingvar Apr 27, 2009 (6:27 am)
Get Rav-4 2008 Limited in Hertz, bring it back at the evening after 50 miles ride because of back pain. Driver's seat is non supportive. Changed car to CX-7 and enjoyed 380miles ride.
