    Save your $6000 and put it towards a Chevy bolt. You get all the benefits of a manual with the reliability and control of a manual. Plus no gas.

      Would that I could. I drive 200 miles per day on the highway. Range on a bolt is 220 miles highway range brand new. That… isn’t exactly a lot of room for charge error. Considering on a base AC charge, (no DC fast charging) this can take up to 9.5 hours, I would need to immediately charge when I got home. I don’t have an option of charging at work.

      If I had a 300 mile range vehicle it might work tho. However, I also can’t afford a $27,000 vehicle, so ya know.

      In the meantime, I’m gonna stick with what I’ve got and deal with an automatic until I can find a good hybrid to suit my needs, methinks
