Manual with synchro's on all gears please, nothing like throwing it in reverse when going 20mph forward and giving it gas to get away from a tank that just crashed through a building. Manuals are the best defense against getting car jacked in the country, having a hand you keep off the wheel to grab your gun is the second best.

I'm probably going to end up going for the manual, but I do worry a little about shifting while dealing with the lack of power steering. It might take a bit of getting accustomed to the added steering effort.

Getting used to no PS should take all of 12 seconds.

Heck, an old Deuce and a half w/o PS ain't bad unless you're trying to back a trailer into a tight spot with it.

I wish I knew of a company that makes stretched fabric car seats like my Aeron at work.

I don't know if they have the the material you want but http://www.gtcovers.com/?gclid=CNuI5b_Ctb4CFY3m7AodUiwAKQ
is the best seat cover company I have ever used. They have 9 different fabrics and they come as perfect a fit as I have ever received. I ordered one set for my Son's Camaro and the back seats (shaped around the differential housing) fit perfectly.
