Is it really? It was always stressed to me that stick is faster than auto due to weight and the way of the engine. It has paddle shifters and I'm still learning how to use them correctly.

It is a little faster. Some of it is the auto, and some of it is the fact it's geared a little lower since you've got 7 gears.

Take it easy at first. Youve gone from a FWD economy car to a rwd sports car. Things are going to happen differently, and much faster. Find an empty (no light poles or parking blocks either) parking lot the next time it's a little damp and find out what you can and can't recover from.

Thanks for the advice! It's been raining a lot where I'm at and there is an empty lot next to my house, I'll definitely test it out there!
