I own a 2012 MCS w/auto tranny and it is one fun little car.
It gets great gas mileage (average 31.5) AND when the fun button is pressed, I begin wearing a very similar stupid smile to one that I wear when I'm driving my SC.
It is a great car to take into the City: super easy to park and navigate the hills of SF and it holds a bunch of stuff for two people to take it on road trips.
Service at the dealer has been surprisingly special. The recommended oil change is every 15k but I did my first at 7500 miles and will do another at 15k.
Buying gently used is the way to go...I got very lucky...good luck in your search!!!
