Manual transmission is really way better when you get used to it. I will be getting a stick shift the next time I get a car if I can manage it.

mmmm Manual. I miss my car that was a stick. Seriously, it'll take you maybe a day or two to get it down and you'll fucking love it. They're so much better than automatics. And, you save more on gas with a manual.

Subtract three years and make it silver and you have our car. Learning on the Jetta TDI is much nicer than learning on another stick. The transmission on that one is so touchy, it'll make driving another stick seem like a piece of cake.

Plus, the gas mileage will be AMAZING! 45-50MPG, you can't beat that. And don't let anyone tell you biodiesel will hurt it. We get the exact same mileage with biodiesel as we do with the other stuff. Haven't had a problem yet. Congrats on the purchase, you'll love it.

Yeah, like they said, you'll get used to it. It is quite fun to drive and is waaaay better in stress situations where you need to stop NOW. Downshift slowing is so good.

Manuals are fun. Then again, i've been using manual for 16 years! I do have sympathy though, having driven an automatic all of 100 yards in my life, I found that amazingly difficult!!
