Anyone heard anything else? I am supposed to take delivery in Mid-July and want to put the kit in the car. It's tempting to pass on the automatic and get the manual because of it. Do you automatic guys think it's worth waiting for the automatic kit? Are you happy enough with the steptronic? If you could do it over again, would you get the manual?

that's about right... n i have been told that there's already one ready for a close customer of theirs....
n u can already order the kit more or less now

as for me, i used to think manual is the answer for fast/racing car.... till i try steptronic (not only mini, but Mitsubishi, Jaguar and Audi DSG), they give me the fun when i want, as well as the comfort of drive in town!!!
will always opt. for a half-auto (as they all got different names) whenever available, n more n more car r using them... so it can't be that bad!!!
