Wait a minute here Chris Harris has spoken. So it must be true.
Why you bought this type of car for a daily is beyond me. There is nothing wrong with the manual. It may not be butter smooth as an S2000 but its not the end of the world either. I can shift it just fine...this is more due to the driver than the gearbox. It takes some finesse to drive a manual. That is why they make autos for people who complain about clunky manuals. I could live with it as a daily in stock form. But as it slowly gets upgraded for track duty, although I could still daily it at this point. It is no longer as enjoyable on the street for various reasons. This goes for any of the cars mentioned above. Once you start stiffening the suspension and lowering its ride height. For it to navigate normal everyday obstacles day in and day out becomes a hassle. Everyone is different. But for the love of God man please end your lease and your misery!
