I've driven stick since I was 16 with a 91 BMW 525i, then a 944 Turbo, an e30 318iS, and now a Mk6 Golf. When I test drove a manual FR-S the other day, it was as easily just as effortless to shift as anything I've owned or driven.

If you're coming from another manual car with a much different clutch/shifting feel that can throw you off though. Or, of course, if this is your first manual car. I'm actually surprised by the number of people here for whom that is the case, but I'm sure you guys will get the hang of it. It becomes second nature after a while, but do make sure you teach yourself the good habits before letting yourself get comfortable doing things the wrong way.
