Depends how you drive and what you want to do with the car.   I don't like drag racing , but like the track.   So it's manual for me. Wouldn't buy a auto performance car, I like abusing the clutch...

I went manual for my F6 but it was a tough choice. The auto was bloody good and felt way faster. The manual is clunky and noisy but I ended up loving it, wouldn't have it any other way now. Great on track, fun on the street, tolerable in traffic. If auto was the only choice I'd have been happy too. I'd probably curse peak hour traffic less. I initially thought auto only in the 6 sprint was a bad idea but I reckon it makes sense. It's a much better match to the turbo 6. I just prefer more control.

I am pretty sure that sooner or later, someone is going to convert the sprint to manual while getting it tuned.

question is did you get an xr6 sprint. I heard that they have all been sold.

clarkson seaview ford were only allocated one xr8 and one xr6 sprint.

Might be hard getting one of them legendary beasts..

Still a few avalible in NSW I think...wherever rockdale ford is. People have gone to the other side of the country to buy a 2nd hand T so if people really want one they will chase it down..

IF there had been a manual version on offer, I'd probably been in there with my deposit the next day.....
Change over price from a 2014 FG MKII is a bit steep to the FG Sprint, especially after the Dealers have taken their "gouge" out of it....
