I love my VZ, deadset, I've ALWAYS been a Expensive Daewoo fan. But I recently had an accident, and it was all fixed under insurance ( $11,500 damage! yet they didn't write it off ) But now it just doesn't drive the same. I've taken a BF MKII auto for a drive, and my god was I impressed! The guy let me boot it into second and I got some fishies happening. Needless to say, I was in love then and there... But now since reading this site, I'm thinking I'll go the Manual, because I don't want to pay $500 per service..
