I'm am on the verge of ordering an 07 is250 stickshift, but was unable to testdrive a stick because my dealer does not stock them but just takes orders (the auto was kick@$$ tho). I will only get this car in a stick, so, I would like to hear from those of you who have the manual about your impressions of the transmission and the clutch. You know, its smoothness, if it makes odd noises like clicking or anything, how it compares to past sticks you've driven, etc. Also, if someone could either point me in the direction of a thread with an image of the shifter, a link to an image, or even just take a pic a post it, that would be sweet.
Thanks a ton in advance for all you responses.

(also, in my lengthy research of this car in various places, including consumer reports, people continuously complained about the "small" size of the rear seats......uhhh... what?!? I'm 6'2" with legs that stretch out to next week and even after adjusting the drivers seat to fit me comfortably there was still enough room for me sit behind it with little to complain about. those liars!)
