I can't find one to test drive here in town = and want to know what you think about it (the transmission, not the lack = of manuals at dealerships). I have read at least one report that the = shifter is a bit uncertain (sloppy?). I have also read that it is easy = to stall in 1st gear. All comments welcome.
