The first gen bB's did come out with a manual transmission, unfortuantely though, that was only in America :roll: (Scion xB). The missus and I have had our bB's for a couple of months now and as a daily runabout, I think they're awesome, but as had been said, not a performance car. Mine has been done a little over the top, mod's wise, but it is now a mean traffic light warrior :lol:

Was never a fan of the look of the Will Vs, but that red one is almost changing my mind 8O.

another idea is the Yaris 'RS' 1.8l 6 speed manual out of Corolla and light weight body can't go wrong

short shifter, 17 inch rims body kit and great handling makes for a fun little package plus great fuel consumption check it out

Thanks for the suggestion, but we really need a mid size car to transport gear in if we can't take the caldina. I feel the yaris may be a bit small, although I do like them!

If you were still keen on getting her into a bB, jump on Yahoo Japan and check out all the bits you can get to jazz up the interior, might be something there that changes her mind :wink: Not my kind of thing, but she might like the Louis Vuitton look dash & door trims/covers/pieces/inserts...or a nice set of curtains :lol:
