well if she is buying a NEW CAR... just find one thats a auto......
never heard of swaping a manual to auto.LOL

but id still try to teach her how to drive a manual..... ya never know when youll have to drive a manual!
im not that great with a manual BUT im not to shaby either! just little tricks here and thier ive never picked up on cause only thing my dad taught me was to learn the clutch pedal position..... then i just drove around the yard OVER AND OVER geting used to it.LOL

there's no way this can possibly be worth the hassle. buy an auto EX or make her learn how to drive the damn car

what about the si does she want, the seats? the grill? the fancy graphics on the rear doors? or does she want that extra 57hp?

i do not believe it has been attempted on an 07, imo, just tell her to get off her lazy *** and learn how to drive a stick. lol

A. Teaching aperson howtodrive stick: half a day and $0.00
B. Converting an SI to an automatic: very many, many, many, many days and $1,000.00's

Choose A or B.
