I think the newer cars are much harder to burn the clutch up on. Should be interesting. None of the model I want are in the Kansas City area so back to the motherland (ICT) I go.

this is true.  computer controlled throttle/rev matching help with the N - 1st and actually any shift changes.

Yeah looking at a Civic Sport vs a Civic Si. Figure this will last me a while either car just would like to drive both to see if the difference in 150 HP in the auto to a 200 HP in the manual. Cause if so I think I can justify the extra cash plus I don't think I will mind a manual.

Si also has the bigger/better infotainment system, 12 speaker Bose sound system vs the normie 8 speaker and red interior, heated front seats with a moon roof.

I only drove manual transmission cars until about 5 years ago. I can still flip mine to a paddle shifter but it's just not the same. I'm so good at manual transmissions cars that I didn't even need to use the clutch. I could just feel when it was time to shift and it was like slicing through hot butter between gears.

i have only driven manuals for 30 years outside of 6 years in a SUV when my kids were in car seats and my advice is to quit pussy footing around and buy a type R.  The day when there are no 3 pedal cars at all is coming so get the best one you can now.   The $50k i spent on my manual Chevy SS sedan is well worth it as it has put a smile on my face every time I drive it.

If purple isn’t your favorite color it will be after you cruz around town or go for a drive up a canyon.

My dad had a '68 Ford when I was young, I remember it being the first vehicle I was allowed to steer driving around a farm
