Just sayin...facts are facts buddy.

If I could drive stick when I bought my car maybe, but I'm not going to waste thousands of dollars to sell my car and buy another one just to get a manual. Yes, facts are facts so stop with the made up BS. I know plenty of people who can drive stick, but still bought an automatic :tiphat:

I test-drove one MT when I was ready to buy. It was a used 2012 with 1k miles, black cherry, great condition. I hated how the clutch felt. It felt like my knee was in my chest when it began to engage. I stalled it three times in the parking lot and then couldn't find reverse. Having heard that there's significant variation in units, in hindsight it would've been wise to test drive others, but I just decided to go with the paddle shifters. Maybe the next car will be stick...

Yeah I had a hard time adjusting to the clutch in the Z at first too but eventually got used to it.

Then, I drove around my brother's Jeep Wrangler. Clutch on those things make the Z's clutch feel like a Honda clutch. :bowrofl:

ahhhh ok.. I thought I missed something, atleast you gave it a shot, I would let you drive my Z because you have experience in driving a stick rather than "some" people that claim to know how to drive a stick.:tup::roflpuke2:

I actually wish the clutch feel in the Z was like that in my Civic Si and in the S2000.

I will definitely take you up on that, just to see what it's like. I did enjoy driving MT when I had one. It was stop-and-go traffic that made me switch to auto when my car was totalled in 2003.
