Kinda hilly in the Seattle area, no? That makes a difference. A well
cared for car with an automatic is likely to be cheaper to keep than a
manual transmsission car unless you are sure the manual was driven by
someone who knew enough not to wear out the clutch.

The Scion tC (coupe) is also a hatch but it's pretty new so even used
prices are likely high.
