I practiced on that car for 2.5 years and 40K kms totally. Then, one day I tried to race a much slower 4 speed auto Civic stopping at traffic light. Guess what... I completely lost the race. (I even couldn't see its taillight!!!)
Then, I suddenly realized driving cars with manual transmission FAST is definitely not easy!!! (At least for me

Since then I always buy cars with auto transmissions... Easy and FAST especially for modern cars equipped with 6-9 speed autos!!!



PS: Learn how to drive manual is not difficult but how to drive manual good and fast is totally different story!!!
