for those who claim that adjusting to manual is hard, take my advice.....TURN OFF THE MUSIC!! Keeping an ear on your engine goes a long way to helping you master the manual. Keeping your eyes on the road is the most important thing, so you cant be constantly eyeing you tach when you're on a twisty track. Trust me, a driver that knows how to use a manual will undoubteldy beat a driver with auto of the same driving skill, regardless of the triple clutch plates that every auto driver praises so much. using a manual with triple plates will give the same effect, you know, as long as you know exactly what you're doing.
