I'm in the market for a new car but am unsure if I should get a manual or not. I took some lessons ages ago but have never owned one. It is not a matter of learning to drive one but knowing if i'd like to drive one.
I'm thinking of getting pic related to use while playing euro truck simulator and racing games. I know that the clutch won't be right for learning but will it be similar enough to tell if I like it?
I live in Amerifat so there is know way to rent a manual and none of my friends have one.

if you can afford that, you can afford some shitbox manual. just get the manual car instead.
Nathan Scott
Yeah, I live in the middle of nowhere. There ain't no local Craigslist and there are no used manual shitboxes for sale anywhere near me. That's even before I get into parking the damn thing. Also, I have enough money that I have no interest in a shitbox.

get an automatic so you can go from point a to point b, just change ATF every 100k miles with a name brand, like mobil 1. they get better fuel economy nowadays and safer, more focus on the road. you also dont have to replace a clutch
performance standards are worth it, they feel really good to drive. you need to build a transmission though, it's worth it if you care about performance
slushbox standards are cheaper.

I own two automatic cars and am replacing the one I drive because I can afford something nicer now that my mortgage is paid off. The bigger issue is that you aren't using OEM ATF and only changing it after 100K. I worry for your cars.

Holy fucking Christ dude it's not rocket science, I swear I say this every thread. Just buy the car you want and learn in that. Takes maybe 10 minutes to get comfortable enough to lurch your way home. >setting off Hardest part. To practice, try to get going by only feeding out the clutch. This will teach you your bite point. For real driving use both clutch and gas to both take off faster and wear clutch less. >shifting Clutch in, shift, clutch out. Blip the gas before clutch out on downshifts. >hill starts Right foot on gas and brake or parking brake method. >parking Neutral, set handbrake, in gear, engine off. Don't be the chucklefuck who only trusts his handbrake on a hill.
Jackson Flores
Yeah, I know how to. I'm just not sure if I want to. Don't want to waste wife points in buying one only to realize it was more fun in concept than practice for me. I know a lot of people who know how to but will only buy automatics now.

A G29 won't teach you what the clutch feels like, which is 80% of how you drive stick.
Just get a manual car and drive the thing, only way you're gonna learn and get good at it.
