Not sure if it was implied, but they should learn to rev match before learning heel toe as well.

2. This MT is less idiot proof than other also not idiot proof MTs 3. This clutch and the operating mechanism has known weaknesses. I speak from firsthand experience.

Worthwhile read:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6485 In the end you'll have to drive it and live with it. So why not test drive both in the traffic conditions most reflective of your driving pattern, then pick the one that worked for you. For me, I can say the AT is no slouch especially in AT's manual mode. Quote:

Wondered how long before the whole "skill" and "connection" clichés would get thrown out there since they are pretty much the go to statements for the MT elitists. If you need a third pedal to have fun driving you are doing something wrong.

Heel and toe is not really useful for the street...when are you going to be slamming the brake pedal in preparation for a corner? If you're barely depressing the brake pedal your heel has to go a lot further to blip the throttle. For my feet at least, it's extremely uncomfortable unless the brake is mashed very far down.
The easiest thing on your transmission is a rev matched double clutch shift, which I find fun to do. That said, out of all M/T drivers, the vast majority don't rev match, and out of the people who do rev match, the vast majority don't know how to double clutch. |

OP can't because he doesn't know stick.
Only OP knows whether or not MT is part of the sports car dream. If he doesn't try it, he'll never know.

At no point did I say he should not try it. In fact I OPENED with it is a great car to learn MT on. WWF's statement was to try both and that can still be done. OP doesn't need to know double clutching and heel toe or any other advanced method to try it. Sure they will jerk around and stall a few times but it is as good a time to try as any. I taught my 13 year old grandson how to do it in 15 minutes and he grasped it so a grown adult should be able to. They just need to put all the "you need to drive MT like it is anime" bullshit aside and learn how to stop, start and change gears.

What I mean is it's not an intelligent statement to suggest he "test drive" both. He can't. He can only decide to buy and learn how to drive MT with it. ...which is what I suggest he seriously consider.

Everybody should learn to drive MT and if looking at sporty cars own at least one MT one in their life. There are also other options for learning MT before actually buying one. Don't know about anyplace else but around here you can get a MT driving lesson from a pro for about $50. My impatience comes with the whole "AT sucks and anybody that buys one will be sorry" attitude that prevails here. There are many many very happy AT owners and it is a totally viable option. People here tend to talk like they are driving their cars balls out 100% of the time when the fact of the matter is if they are driving around a city or doing long highway runs the opportunities to use the advantages of the MT can be rare.

Moto's link is very good. And it is true, the only opinion that matters in the end is your own OP. Try driving another friends manual first to get a feel and test drive both. Learning MT is great but you can have just as much fun in an AT equipped car basically |
