I would like to drive stick, its alot cheaper than a new (and used)car of the same make and model with an automatic. Its a simple design then automatic, costs less to do maintenece work on it.
I'm not sure about the anti-theft. Back in Paris, I saw the same ph1 Peugeot 106 every two years I visit. Fading red paint, stripper model, no options, no door panels, no radio, steel rims, nothing but a uber cheap econocar. This summer I returned, this car car got junked for parts. Its been sitting there in front of our apartement building for months, along with a VW Golf TDi wagon (radio, rims, seats, steering wheel, doors and hood missing). No car is safe from anyone. Even if you drive a 1994 purple Chevy Cavalier wagon, it will get stolen(happened to someone I know, found laying on its roof across town). There was a 80's Toyota Corolla parked at my school two years ago, that got stolen. If you don't live in a bad nieghborhood and park your car on your driveway, its likely that anyone is going to care. Hell, I even heard of people stealing Geo Metros for fun, and that being a I-3 and no thrills car. When I'm in Milwaukee, I never let my eyes off my worn and worthless Cavy, they can still part your car. I'm glad my aunt's car, being in a melting-pot ghetto of communist controlling gangs on the Paris outstirts, survived 15 years in that rat town.
I know this is long (and exagerated in my point of view) and maybe making you cross-eyed, but any car that is made for the mass population (luxury is one genre that can be stolen, but tracked down) can be stolen out of sight. Looking from what I seen in Paris, they take what ever they want, and leave the wreck behind.

Dying art now, but the small percent of stick cars are actually growing in the past couple years. Expect a 20% share of stick vs auto cars in the following decade, their making a come back.
Its all stick over there, no one drives automatic. Its rare to see an automatic because we euros bad talk about it, thus discouraging people from buying them. Besides, you get taxed if you own one (except anything that is 20 years old, considered an antique car at that age).

yah i feel your pain. i see about 200 miles per tank. i think im getting about 14.5 on the average. for having the same engine as you my mileage is horrid. but still i love my outback and no way im gonna trade it for something that gets better mileage. the practicality of my wagon is just to prevalent to overlook
