For what they are the MN12 is a great handling car and can be just as fun as a CDW-27 if you know what you are doing with it.

Yes, MTX SCs and XR7s are very rare, as in none were ever made! They don't have Manual Transaxles! :-P The only 'rare' manual MN12s are the 90 XR7s and the 94/95 SCs. And my auto 90 XR7 was fun with a shift kit, esepcially in the DC area where 5spds suck in traffic.

And I hope being a Contour site that the majority of the people here would take a CDW-27 car over a MN12. However, I'm the weirdo I guess. Mod for mod, i'd take the SC :shrug:
