BEST FIRST MANUAL CARS. Hi guys, so I've been shopping for a car to learn stick on for a couple months now. I was considering a Mini Cooper, but people said that would be a bad first car, and then I thought a 350z but I feel I want something a little safer in the rain. Now at the top of my list is a Volkswagen gti (2003-2013)or a Mazda speed 3 ...
If the real car has downshift protection, so will the iRacing model. Some cars does not have this. For example, it’s easy to blow the transmission in the stockcars if you miss a shift. The MX-5 and Spec Racer have recently been updated to the newest version of the real-world cars, which have sequential transmission.
Historically automatic transmissions were much worse in terms of cost, power, fuel efficiency (and reliability), particularly combined with small engines - and historically the UK has had high fuel prices and small cars. The US, historically, has had cheap fuel and big cars with big engines. I have been driving an auto car now for 9 months ...
Sports cars with manual transmissions didn’t suffer from this problem as the drive made the choice and could shift immediately. As we crossed in to the last decade vehicle manufacturers have put a ton of money into development for automatic transmissions. We went from a 4 speed transmission to a 11 speed transmission to CVT transmissions.

Sometimes the battery isn’t the issue, and if the battery isn’t an issue, you should be able to push-start the vehicle.
Clutch is light, but that's just the way manuals are these days. Shifting action itself feels smooth and precise. It's about the same as the previous generation of Accord, so I'm not sure what the "problem" might be. Unless you're comparing it to the Type R because it has a "detuned Type R engine".
imothers. •. Yes, absolutely. If you buy a $5k Honda or whatever, it will be much more fun with a manual than an automatic. Also, old manuals are geneally more likely to keep on going than old automatics. If you buy a 5+ year old DCT and the previous owner neglected maintenance, you could be in for a nasty repair bill.
A manual transmission is cheaper to produce and cheaper to replace. I prefer it because it gives me more control while driving when to switch gears. If your car is sporty, it's also more fun. The trend however is clearly towards automatic transmissions because the average new car buyer is almost 60 years old. -3.
Hi Folks, as per the title, I'm pondering over the idea of learning and getting a manual transmission car. I'm a car enthusiast and I own a 2003 Jaguar XJR, automatic. I'm 34 years old and I learnt driving 3 years back. I love driving my car. So recently thought of learning a manual car and getting a 2010 Saab 9-3 aero manual transmission.
