And no, I cannot drive a manual as of yet. I'm still really thinking about it. If I do get a manual, I'll probably have to take lessons. My dad can teach me but we have no manual cars to practice or learn with.
This sound more like a fear of learning how to drive a manual transmission more than simple indecision. As someone who has driven nothing but manual transmission cars (and motorcycles) for 44 years, I can tell you that this car has the easiest to use clutch and transmission of almost any car I've ever owned. The drive by wire throttle has made learning to find the friction point of the clutch simple by eliminating any cable play or drag, and the hydraulic clutch is light and precise. Don't let apprehensiveness about being able to learn the manual drive your decision.

Anyway, even I, after all these years, still stall out occasionally.
