you regret not getting what? it looks to me like you gotta SE? do you mean you got a auto instead of the stick??

 

nevermind i was lookin at your mods and saw you got an auto. i like the auto fine but i wish i had the performance of the stick, but then doesnt everyone??

 

so true...
but i'm happy with what i got

 

Stick
You can't truly enjoy an auto.

 

If your thinking about it I say 5spd.It just more fun

 

yes i agree that the 5spd is alot more fun 2 drive but its a SE. The GLE has leather, sunroof, auto climate, BOSE, and the SE doesnt have any of that...

 

My SE has all of that and it has a 5 spd.

 

If you're looking for performance then get the SE 5 speed. If you drive in heavy traffic, GLE.

 

No a base SE doesnt have leather, doesnt have a sunroof, doesnt have the BOSE. And i am just driven 2 work and back basically...

 

I wish I had gotten a 5 spd instead of an auto....been driving as stick for the past 15 years and I all I can say is I've never been more bored driving in my life

If I had to do it all over again I would have gone with the loaded SE 5 spd. After riding in a leather SE my frost cloth seems chinzy...

 

Lease the sucker! Then, you can get a loaded SE 5 speed for about $375 a month inlcuding tax........Works for me.

 

I enjoy my auto.

 

Oh, of course the base SE doesn't have leather or anything...from your reply it seemed you were saying that you can't get leather, bose or anything in the SE. I misunderstood you.

 

5sp!!!!!

 

how much did you put down for that lease payment????
mine is $425 with 0 down for a FULLY loaded SE 5spd...

 

Without a doubt...STICK!

 

the amenities (of the GLE) are nice, but if i had to choose, i'd pick the 5-speed over them. FWIW

 

I could never buy an auto when with the 5-spd you have so much more power (and fun).

 

I have both (well, actually, my wife usually drives the GLE). I got the SE specifically because I wanted a stick shift in a relatively fun car that still had 4 doors.

My fully-equiped SE has all of the luxury features of my wife's GLE, and is definitely the better bargain...
