When I say "sports car" I meant "sporty car".
And yes, I would want a manual in any sporty car I'd buy no matter how many doors it has.
I have driven the 4C. It's a very fun car. I think most people get turned off because it is very raw. No power steering, you need to hold the steering wheel tight - it follows every little road imperfection. It's noisy, rough and no refinement at all. It's like driving a go kart and too much involvement for most people to be able to daily drive. All the hard plastics and cheap stuff in it also make it hard to swallow for the price. It feels like a italian sports car from the 60s and 70s more than a modern car... it just needs a manual to make it perfect.
