I've been driving for 10 years and have never driven a manual in my life. Went for the 6MT without hesitation. After my parents' 2 year old Outlander Sport's CVT died on them I decided it's just something that's too new and there are still kinks that need to be worked out. I found my car about 5...
Manual sport hatch, 33.8 MPG. 90% city driving. I rarely take the freeway. Only have about 1100 miles on her though.
I feel like that's decent for three reasons:
Almost exclusively city driving.
Brand new to driving a manual.
It's 110 degrees here and my AC is always on high.
I'm only 5'5 and I fit perfectly in the sport hatch lol. My 6'3 boyfriend and 6'6 brother fit in comfortably. Actually had my brother in the back seat the other day (with passenger seat moved forward) he honestly fit although his hair touched the roof.
In the tint shop a couple of days ago, 18% all around. The black interior makes it look super opaque but you can see through it a bit when someone is inside.
It's Suntek Carbon film.
I found one 400 miles from my house that was only $500 under MSRP. It was the color I wanted so I pulled the trigger. Was searching for a good three weeks before it popped up. Put a deposit down and waited 10 days since it was in transit still.
Just did another Autotrader search out of...
Same here! Just pulled it up on Autotrader, only 28 within 500 miles of me and only 5 of those are black. 2 out of those 5 have dealer markup on the MSRP. Unicorn car.
