I love my spyder since i have got one, i have never looked back the best thing i brought. if you can go into a dealer and try it out its a lot of fun. i have a manual but have test rode the auto they are about the same just one you have to change gears more, with the auto it changes down gear its self when pulling up at lights. The downer is that they are a little heavy on the fuel and it says it has a 27 litre tank but i have ran it dry and only refilled it to 23 litres so i dont know where the other 4 litre is. Did a long road trip and got 336km and put in 23litre, around town and some distance trip did 334km and run it dry only to put in another 23 litres.

HI Babeshorty about the missing 4 liters I have heard about this before. I have not run my se5 dry yet only till the gauge read zero bars and I filled it up and put in 23 litres as for doing a milage check I have been to lazy to read the book on how to zero trip meter b and also setting the time :blink:

My other annoyance is I often look at the digital screen and it is asking me to set celsius or something and I know I have not held or touched the mode button :wall:
