So a little update. I've been driving a couple manual cars just to get the feel of doing it on a daily basis.
First was an Evo X. And holy crap the clutch was brutal. Not an easy car to drive for someone who doesn't already daily a manual car. After a day I did start to get the hang of it. That made me think, hey I think I can do this... albeit requiring a lot more practice. Then, I drove a new Civic Si. And this was a night and day difference from the Evo X. I was shocked at how easy it was to drive. I almost felt like I was driving an automatic with how smooth the clutch operation was. It definitely restored a lot of faith after the beatdown I got from the Evo, and my level of confidence was now through the roof. The one common thing in both experiences though, was that it was fun. The Civic was SLOW... but still fun to drive simply because I was rowing my own gears. And the Evo.. well that was an experience. After those experiences, I think I've decided. Unless something drastic changes between now and this summer, my next car will be a manual transmission car. Thanks all for your insights!
