opt for the v-6 6 spd and you'll have a fun little car.
im not sure if there ahve been issues with the 5spd tranny or not. search

I think that as a college student, you'll want something that is reliable and under warranty, unless you dont ever plan on having money issues, or are great at repairing cars.
