Learning stick is easy all you need to do is be dedicated, I learned to drive a manual with my evo and its a hard car to learn stick on. The transmission is notchy the revs goes down really fast because of the AWD and 2nd and 3rd is always jerky unless you slowly let go of the clutch. It took me about a month to get used to it. It's going to be frustrating and embarrasing at first there where days were I wish I bought an automatic, hills is going to be hard at first I suggest get use to the clutch for at least two weeks before you try it out on hills. But man once you learn it you would have so much fun and you won't wanna drive automatics anymore, also suggest that you turn off the synchro rev when you are learning to help you learn how to properly upshift and downshift with the car. Other than that goodluck and don't let anybody bring you down for being a noobie on manual cause everyone has been in your position before.
