I guess if you dont count the first foward you would be right,but if you swung foward at the top(after stopping)it would be 5. 
I ask the drivers ed kids how many points are there in a 3 point turn if you need to back up again to avoid hitting the curb.
They all say 4 and its acually 5.

I've been up Lion's Back twice and counting points in the turn around is the least of my worries but ya you're right.

Re: Manual or Automatic transmission
I got the luxury and adventure with the manual. Rare find indeed. Wouldn't touch an automatic.

I had to ordered mine Lux w/ manual, my dealer said there just aren?t that many out there because there are not that many people under thirty years old that know how to drive them anymore (unless they are sports car drivers).
My 3 officially should have started being built yesterday, hope to see it in the next couple of weeks! |

Re: Manual or Automatic transmission
I got the 5spd just for the fact that I'm a control freak, and Auto Tranny makes me worry about the RPM's, yeah I know im paranoid. But I like the 5spd, and control over acceleration gears.

Re: Manual or Automatic transmission
Manuals are great untill you get stuck in a traffic jamb for a couple of hours.
As old injuries become more apparent as I get older; the more I like my Automatic Tranny.
