I'm learning how to drive the new 5-speed car that my mom bought for the office.
It's a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta (diesel).
It keeps stalling because I forget to switch gears (because I'm use to the automatic) and then I have to re-start it, but once I get going on the highway it'll fly!
I really love the car becuase it's sporty and it's very economical (60+MPG) I just wish my mom got it in an automatic transmission =)
Can't wait to drive next year :p Woooo lol.Quote:

I hate automatic cars. Don't ask me why, but I much prefer the manual transmission.
Ok, i'm legaly not allowed to drive, but i still find manual easier?
i always say automatic cars are for people who cant drive
but if you get a manual car you must have a full license , so if theres that fab car you want and its not in automatic well... bad luck :P
I would prefer automatic simple because i'm lazy. :]
Automatics are good, but most cars are manual anyway.
I am 13, i can drive a manual car. LOL!
Sure you can.Quote:

I bought a manual honda civic type r a couple of months ago when I got my license and they are great to drive, smooth handling and when you get it on a nice straight bit of road its nice to open it up. Great car for the younger driver like moi.Quote:

I looked at the new Civic a few months ago when the van was in getting serviced and they had one in the showroom and it was an automatic 4-door EX model. It was a nice car but I don't really like center console/dash area, it seamed a bit wierd and small but I LOVED the digital spedometer!!!!!! Another good thing with the Civic is that the base model comes with all the options like A/C, power windows, locks & mirrors and a CD player, I don't know if the base model Jetta comes loaded or not? Ours is a TDI model and it comes with all the power options, alloy wheels(which I LOVE)& a moonroof. The clutch is a nightmare though.Quote:

I'm sure you won't be able to. I'm sure you'll just be able to perform basic actions, like me.Quote:
