I have one, picked it up about 2 weeks ago. I had to drive about 700 miles to get it. The "S" with a 6 speed are hard to find.

I really love this car. The 6 speed is pretty peppy, more so than I would have expected, even here in the mountains. I'm on my 4th tank of gas and am averaging 30.6 MPG with a mix of city / highway / and mountain driving. The car (at least mine) drives surprisingly well out on the open road. Very little wind / road noise. I really expected a lot of wind noise cause it's square with a huge windshield, I also expected to be blown all over the road by truckers but it's very stable. Cruised most of the way home right at 80 MPH. Did GREAT. - Dan

I too find the car to be quieter and cross wind to be less than expected.The 6sp manual is pretty smooth and precise comparing to my previous 2001 Civic.

The only think I am not too happy about is the electric assisted steering. While is nice around the parking alot, there are no feedback on highway.

Overall, love the car with 30.5 MPG average.

i love black, they look so clean. What is the dif. between 1.8and the 1.8s? And does anyone know the bolt pattern? Brozne color Volk rims would look sexy!! haha

Yeah, other than a PITA to maintain I also think black cars are beautiful. The 1.8S has cruise control, chrome inside door handles, some upgrade interior trim but I think thats about it. Not really sure.

If your asking about the wheel bolt pattern it's 4 on 114.3 or 4 1/2

It is 4 * 114.3.

It did too test drive a 1.8s 6 speed. Shift smooth, like the Versa. Actually, it's the same trans/engine of the Versa. I was already used to it since my girlfriend got a Versa for more than a year now. Maybe this month, I'll drop the SpecV to get one. Anyone has seen a cube in green? They look great.
