Ok, cool. The only thing that I noticed when it was really cold out was a little ticking noise from the engine. However, once the car warmed up, the noise always subsided.
No issues with the MT thus far. The stock shifter is a little sloppy but still engages very well. I think im getting 14.4 mpg but I'm still breaking it in. Car likes the revs so that's where I like to leave it.
