DEAR BRO
it is 5 forward gear and 1 reverse gear manual transmission (total 6 gear)........... completely different from what u heard .................its cabin is sound proof and so quite that u can not imagine that even it is running. more compact and soundless then any local assembled cars including Toyota and Honda.
i asure u these japan made cars are 1000 times better than local assembled crap and teen dabba cars....but because of monopoly, negative approach of Govt(by putting so many taxes on import) and negative propaganda of local assembler due to fear of their units shut down .............we have been deprived off with beauty full safety oriented, fuel economic, luxurious, spacious, with full pwr tools like pwr windows, abs breaks, air bags, pwr steering, pwr mirrors, key less entry and more above that comfortable to drive cars.
