I could give you a ride in mine but it's in winter storage right now. If you can wait a few weeks...... Mine is a stage 1 auto. The difference was amazing after the stage kit. Don't think you can go wrong with either. How much is that one in Iowa? I bought mine brand new last year for just under $20K.

True...its only available from the dealer but you can add it to the 5spd. I had one added and had a safety switch put in so that if i left it in gear it wouldnt start so every time i park i put the ebrake on and put it in neutral.

Manual has the potential to have an LSD transaxle, but it really depends on how old (or young) you feel

Get the manual..I love having the ability to downshift whenever I want. Also, $19,000.00 seems a bit high to me. I paid $21,600.00 for a brand new 2010 HHR SS 5spd with perf package. Be patient!
