Thought about the 17's but aftermarket ones were better value. (read cheaper!!)
She got the manual. She didnt like the sound of a 1.4L motor. I didnt test drive it (the auto), but we had 4 people in the maunal car and it stuggled in 4th up a hill (admittedly, i was really in the wrong gear at the time for the car, I'm used to the XR8). I'd image the auto would be slower still. I really wish the DSG box gets here quick. I think Ford would lose some sales given the 1.4 auto combination.
