6MT Opinions
Went to test drive a 6MT today...The dealer only had one on the lot and wouldn't let me drive it. I really want to order one but have a bit of an issue spending 37k on a car I've never driven. What do you guys think of the 6MT tranny?
Re: 6MT Opinions
it's great. Totally different then the auto. I didn't test drive the 6spd either. I just knew I would enjoy it. If you enjoyed the auto, for sure you'll enjoy the 6spd. That's going off if you enjoy clutches too. I fall asleep with automatics and can't stand using the breaks constantly.
good luck on your decision

I bought mine without test driving the 6MT. I doubt many 6MT owners got to test drive one due the limited availibility of the cars. My dealer had orders for over 10 6MT's before they had any in stock. Good Luck!

I actually got to test drive a manual this weekend. I drove the automatic twice a month ago.
I loved the manual. It gave a distinctly different feel from the slush box tranny. Much more involving. Don;t get me wrong, the auto is great on this car. But this is coming from someone who grew up on manuals so I am biased.
Anyways, I placed a $500.00 deposit and placed an order for a Diamond Graphite with all options on the spot. The dealer estimated April-ish for the car to arrive. But I got a call from them later in the day from them telling me that there is an "extra" car coming in the first week of Feb. and I can take it if I want it. I took it of course.

I have a 6MT. The transmission is smooth with short throw.
I had the same issue, when I ordered mine, there was none on the lot to test. Not wanting the automatic on a sports coupe, I ordered without a test ride.

Sorry the dealer in your area didn't let you drive one. The tranny is the best. You have very short throws in shifting. The clutch is a little long but you can get a clutch stop for faster action. What city do you live in.
