Never once has a clutch been a hassle I've regretted.. in a lot of ways, I feel it keeps my legs equally toned... Automatics are just so mindless... I end up manually shifting it just to do something...

I see your uncle’s point. Yes some cars have a heavy clutch and traffic time can be a hassle. Especially if you have knee issue (like me), traffic time in the winter can be a total nightmare… but the twin got so damn light clutch, it’s not even a workout.
3 wks ago, my wife had left knee surgery (torn ACL), so she can’t drive MT cars for another week or so. Currently we’re borrowing sis-in-law’s Leggy & it’s been nice for her… but she said it’s weird not knowing how fast you’re going. When you drive MT, unconsciously we know how fast we’re going cuz whatever gear we are in + rpm… vs AT/CVT, you’re shit out of luck other than look at the cluster lol
