Let's get a feeling out there of what 2012s are out there with our members 
I'm sorry... I can't help but :lol: when I read that....Woo-hoo, I was the first to take the poll!![]()
Availability of the manual is the only reason I ordered my Sterling Grey Metalic HB tonight. Drove a Titanium automatic a couple of weeks ago and loved the ride and handling but the transmission left me cold. That dealer didn't have a 5-speed on the lot so it was a couple of weeks before I drove one. Glad I did, that is one sweeeeet gearbox! Can't wait to take delivery.I have an SE i bought Friday August 25 off dealer lot. The only Yellow Blaze with a manual trnasmission for a bit of distance with 17" wheels. . I travelled 60 miles to grab it at the original dealer. (instead of dickering for a trade from a nearbye dealer)
It is interesting the large nuber of SE hatch owners.. I wonder how many are SE owners just because that is the highest model anyone could still get the manual transmission?
Certainly i am one.
And the interesting bit is how the SEL hatchback is really lagging. Heck, all the SEL numbers are a bit lagging.Well At least on this survey the hatch owners outnumber the sedan by THREE TO ONE.
Go HATCH!!!
And i am really falling in love with my 2012 SE Bright Yellow manual tranny hatch :banana:
