Don't give up or get discouraged! It is DEFINITELY worth it to stick it out. I will never own an automatic car again 
I wish i had your car ): |
yeah i am like you, i would never buy an automatic car
my last car was a 2005 mercedes c320 sports sedan and i wanted a manual. the salesman said they did not make c320 (6-cylinders) with a manual, they only made c230 (4-cylinders) with a manual but he said he would check with the factory and get back to me. factory told him no problem and it took about a month for them to build it and ship it to the US. i traded it in for the nismo.
whoever has that car now has a pretty rare car
when i wrote that it would take a while for a person to become good enough to enjoy driving a mt, i was thinking about having the ability to drive at speeds just as good as another person with an AT 370z (because that's why we buy sports cars). That can take years but if the objective is just to drive a mt smoothly, that should not take too much time.
are you superstitious?
My car is number #4 and #4 in Japanese and chinese sound like death.
I am scared to drive the car after i found this out because i am somewhat superstitious
so my car is not that desirable
