I hate it when people make driving one seem like it is some special skill or mystical ability.

As a "mature" driver, I could easily say the only people that complain about auto transmissions are kids that think driving a stick is "manly". BS.
And yes, us old folks had no choice when we learned to drive - all manual.
If you are in city traffic, bumper-to-bumper, etc., it is a PITA to drive a manual. Not difficult, a PITA.
I am looking for a paddle-shifted track car (like the FR-S) because it is faster shifting and allows more wheel and braking control than the MT.
To the OP - the twins are easy to learn as a manual transmission - even us old guys have no problem with them. Just get someone that understands and drives a MT to teach you the basics in a big empty parking lot!
