It does feel great...but it seems that it is getting harder and harder to find cars that offer manual transmissions these days. For me, getting a reliable, fast, wagon with a manual transmission pretty much limited me to the Subaru's (Legacy GT, Forester XT and Outback XT)

For this conversation...I would assume that for a middle aged woman that the joy of downshifting is probably lower down the 'must-have' list.

FWIW this is the dream family car for me...
