I like the 6-speed. I was a little insure about silver also, but I am very happy with it now. I wanted black, but the silver almost never looks dirty.

I feel the same way about pewter, I really wanted a black one, but theres one around here and the chick never cleans it , it looks like crap most of the time. THey do look sharp when they are clean but up here its been raining non stop and my car still doesn't look to bad.

One more for M6. Even in traffic. I love being able to hear the motor. In an automatic it alwasys shifts up and keeps the RPM low. In the M6 I'll leave it in 1st a little longer than I have to and get the exhaust roaring a little in traffic. Then there's the fun of matching rpms in a downshift to 1st coming up to a turn. Fun stuff. Sounds good. Feels good.
Driving fun - everyday.
I FEEL THE SAME WAY.

M6

WHAT THE F@#%!!!!!

I may have an A4 with 2.73's but, I'm by NO MEANS slow! My car is plenty fast. That was a really ignorant thing to say.

Besides, I love my A4, as I comute to college every day in traffic. No F&%$ing clutch to deal with. in...out...in...out...in...out. grrrrrrrrr. Anyway, the 4th to 2nd and the 3rd to 1st downshift are awesome at speed.

Thumbs up

M6 no question. I wouldn't trade my 6 speed for ANYTHING! I would much rather run a slower 1/4 mile in a manual than a quicker 1/4 in an auto. My 6 speed is WAY too much fun to drive. You can't beat the sound, and no other transmission gets a chick in the mood like a manual
