Learning to drive stick was one of the most fun driving experiences I ever had.
I was 17 with a bunch of my friends when I bought my first used Integra.
I must've stalled over 20 times in the course of driving it home. Thankfully I chose to pick it up in the late evening when traffic in my area was light. It only took me an hour to learn how to operate the vehicle. After that, it was all practice.
Do it.
You won't regret it.
However, there comes a point in a person's life when they just want to enjoy the drive and not have to worry about changing gears. Then by all means, get the auto. But for me as a driver, I want to feel engaged with the car and a manual is the only way that can happen.
