Since I am left handed the stick wouldnt be an issue. "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman

How long is it since you drove a manual, box? :D (well strictly speaking they don't need it, but no, fiona, you're not good enough to correctly match revs between engine and transmission on every up- and down-shift)

Budget rental here has a 1 week rental of a VW Golf picked up and returned to Reading for a week with an automatic at 95.21USD vs a VW Golf manual at 109.43USD. The automatic is cheaper by two bucks a day! That wasn't the case in September, 2017, I assure you. But, I stand absolutely corrected. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

Screw this up and it's Lots of disassembly + Francs. So if you think you're really a Master: try this on a ..oh, say MG-TC?--which is all crash-box because--Stiff-upper-lip, mate! But for what £££ pristine TCs have flogged for, even half a century back.. is it worth cheating-death on every ride to the 7/11 for a Big Gulp? Humbly ..as hell ;^>

There's a clutch, and you're expected to use it, because half the time when you don't, even when you match perfectly, it'll grind like a bastard. On my own car, I double-declutch when I can be bothered/remember (smooths out changes like you wouldn't believe).
