Hey Crystal !
I just (April 2004) traded my 2000 GT Automatic for 2004 GTS Tsunami 6 speed. Trust me, the auto (if you can get one !) is GREAT ! All you have to do to "get it going" is to buy K&N air filter from Canadian Tire (cheapest !) and switch instantly to SUNOCO Gold 95 octane gasoline.
Yes it is 12 cent more per liter but it is approx. $10-$15 / month more if you drive 20 to 24k a year ! It pays for itself in lower fuel consumption and so much FUN to drive ! On the highway if you need to really "cook it" I just turned off the overdrive and floored it ! Whoa ! Don't listen to people telling you to buy 5 speed - it revs awfully hight at 100km/h but the auto is amazingly quiet !
Contact me if you need more info ....or just go and buy GTS Tsunami 6 spd !
