the extra involvement and control makes it a fun experience everytime Im in the car.

If you've ever owned a manual car, you would know that the longer you own it and the more you get to know it, the more fun it becomes.

my 6MT is my only car, and i drive tons of miles in rush hour traffic every day.
i learned to drive on a manual and had it for 9 yrs, went to an auto for one year, and couldnt wait to go back. on top of feeling more "in tune" with the car, i love the way our gear box feels. i dont care how many miles, how bad the traffic, no AT for me!
as my dad said the day i got my permit: "hell yeah you're gonna learn to shift today - you want to learn how to drive dont ya? i can teach a monkey to hold on a steer, thats not driving!"

It is my daily driver, in Atlanta. No regrets. Fun has lasted 24 months, so far.
