I figure you will get along just fine with the manual transmission. Although it has a relatively light flywheel, a relatively low torque engine and the clutch has a "takes some getten used to" engagement point, it can be mastered within a few spins around a parking lot.

Don't be discouraged if you "kill it" during a test drive ....... it ain't a 1941 Ford, that you could pop the clutch at idle and have it take off ......

(someone just shoot that old bastard ..... )
