Hello mate, is200 is a beautiful car as u know! & im glad u said ur getting the manual, because i made the mistake of getting an auto, & as smooth & silky as the gear changes are..it hurts my pocket lol! & i have been told the manual is a lot better on fuel, in the auto i get about 20mpg..which lets face it, is pretty poor! Lol but in the manual u will deffinately get 29-32!! Hope it goes well for u!
