I know the steps to it and everything but you can never really know you can do it unless you do it.

I mean you can ask friends to drive their manual, but you think they really want you to f*** up their clutch?
When I picked up my current ride (G37 coupe). It was my first manual car. I had very minimum experience driving manual.

The dealer handed me the keys, and I was pretty damn nervous. I just took my time and went over the steps involved in my head. To make a long story short, I made it out the dealership without stalling. I even made it home without stalling. Its not rocket science, just take you time.

I will never own a Automatic again. Ripping through the gears everyday still brings a smile to my face.

Get the Manual!!!!!

ability to put a smile on your face even when you're not driving it

I like the versatility of the auto. When I feel like having some fun I drive it in manual. Driven manuals all my life, last car being a Silvia S15 with a 6 speed manual. I find the 7AT just as much fun to drive if not more.

To the OP, if you have have to think about it, you might as well get the auto and (sry to offend anyone) be like the rest of the poser sports car owners. Its a sports car, man up, buy it with the 6-speed manual + sports pkg and drive it how its ment to be driven.

What are you, 3? If you think a manual in a sports car has anything to do with manhood, you are the one that needs to grow up. (Not sorry to offend anyone.)

Manly men wildly pumping their left foot whilst the right hand flays wildly about, forming manly H's, and declaring to all, behold, I have manned up, for I, a man of sports, am the standard for manly men!
