I feel your pain, the only reason I have a CVT is because my mom can't drive stick. She didn't pay for any of the car, and hardly ever drives it, maybe twice a year, but since I couldn't get a good loan in my name I put it under her name and her excuse was "If there is an emergency and the only car around is your car, I need to be able to drive it so you need an automatic. And manual cars are an old technology, who want's a stick in a brand new car?". Since i make all the payments and came up with the $5k down, I really wish I could have gotten the car I wanted. Oh well, I'm just looking to make the lancer more fun, and buying a 240SX and swapping in a RB25DET to really have power.

well they COULD offer a package with all the accessories for a manual, like the extra pedal, new brake pedal, shifter, etc., and just make the customer find their own tranny haha
