    Welcome!

    I went with the ES because I needed the cruise control, and the DE didn't have it. Otherwise, the DE would've worked for me

    Welcome!

    The extra $ per month of the ES should not be too much more. I bet it would be under $100 a month more. If you can afford it, I suggest spending the extra $ just for the cruise control. Not quite sure what else you get in the ES other than alloy wheels and CC.

    Welcome, skajan!

    How come you're trading the CVT for the manual?

    Hi metrompg
    Because i really like driving manual and in an urban place manual can really save more i think

    Well, do it for love, not money. Because the cost of trading the car will probably be greater than the savings in fuel!

    Definitely helps, I think. When I turn them on, there is an area that the headlights dont light up. Also, the extra light actually brightens up the headboard (interior roof; I keep forgetting the name).
