It's your opinion and I'll leave this one alone. I will say it's no where near a POS and i guess i looooooooooooove me some pork.

I did not think you could get a 2009 Factory JCW with the automatic transmission.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Maybe a MCSa with a JCW Tuning Kit? That is all I can think of.
