One thing to note if you live in a cold climate - the M Sport wheel is not heated. For me, that is a total deal breaker, but I live where we have gotten nearly 6' of snow in the past 6 weeks or so.
Manuals are both fairly rare, and the folks who buy manuals KEEP them, they don't lease them for 2-3 years, and thus they are hard to come by as low mileage used cars. Also geography means a lot - you will have a much harder time finding manuals in urban areas.
