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.

Re: Manual or Automatic transmission
I got an Lux/Adv with an automatic.
But now I'm thinking I need a second one, an Adv. with a manual and 35's ......

Re: Manual or Automatic transmission
I think my dealer about passed out when I told him I wanted a manual. Unfortunately, I ended up having to settle for an automatic because I was told hey couldn't find an H3x fully loaded in my color (sonoma red) with manual. Even though I love my car, I am still debating whether choosing color and other options over manual was a mistake.

Re: Manual or Automatic transmission
I had to skip the adventure pkg in order to get the manual. The dealer searched the entire country and couldn't find one (I did some searching of my own too). We had to bring one in from across the state as it was to get a blue one.
Now I just need to get an elocker and get it put in.

I feel your pain. But when I got mine (2005) there just weren't any H3's on the lot. So i got to order mine with exactly what I wanted.  I did have to wait two months, but it was worth it!
