I just bought mine last week. It's my first MT and I just moved to a bigger city. My takeaways so far:

- first manual car? You're gonna stall in traffic. Accept it. Part of the fun is guessing whether or not the guy behind you at the light is gonna get to go thru :p
- Stock speakers suck. I have the Monogram, which has the Bespoke 5.1 system and it still sucks. Oh well, the engine noise more than compensates for it.
- the touchscreen can be slow to load on start up. That becomes an issue when you start stalling in traffic and have to drive in quiet shame for 30 seconds with no music as Bluetooth reconnects haha.

Other than that I really love this car. The clutch is a lot easier to learn on than other cars I've driven (98 Mustang, 240SX). My mom didn't really want me to get a MT, but I bought this car myself and figured if I didn't do it now, I never would.
