Basically I got a great lease offer on a 6 speed G35 fully loaded coupe but I dont know how to drive manual. :{
I have to make a decision within the next couple days and the car is beautiful so I dont want to pass it up or the deal.


So should I just get it then learn? because i dont want to get stuck with a car that I cant drive. also I have never owned a manual car or even tried driving it, but i know exactly what to do I just never got a chance to try it.

 

"everyone has to learn somehow"

perhaps the results of this poll and posts in this thread will help you with your decision.

i barely got my 06 coupe...it took me 2 days of hard practice and i pretty much got it down...go youtube "how to drive a stick shift" theres actually a video that tells you how to do the basics or you can always stick with auto with the tiptronic so you can "upshift" and "downshift" but i'd prefer a 6MT.

 

wow thanks alot man. I searched but nothing relevant came up.

This forum is great, I think i will love my new 6MT!

 

no problem!

5at or 6mt, you'll love this car.

 

in short, yes

 

be prepared to go through a lot of hard time first month or so. But after that u will never look back!

 

I wouldn't recomend learning on your new G... go find a beater or a rental and practice on that for a good few days to a week until you've got it down. I couldn't imagine the consistant grinding of the gears >__< *clench my teeth just thinkin about it* but that's just me... I'd fck my exhaust pipe over some chick ... my car is my baby

 

i learned on a enterprise lotus elise...you could do that.

 

go for it

 

go for it. you could get driving a stick in a days time.

 

yes

 

why did you want a 6mt? there is a small learning curve and little annoyances like driving in traffic. just be prepared, but i don't think you'll have any regrets. go for it.

 

go ahead my boy learned on the beamer his parents bought him. Will you have to replace your clutch. Possibly or probably, but don't sweat it cars are durable

 

6mt hands down, if you dont get it, youll regret it!
