My lancer is cvt and from a stop, it's so goddamn slow. Like 0-60 is around 8 seconds. I get like 20mpg on the streets if i'm trying, bc normally i get like 18 bc it's fun to be loud. Anyway I'm not worried about mpgs i'm worried about traffic. The involvement that comes with stick interests me a lot, it's boring to just press down on the gas. I want to feel the car, be the car, forget the car's ECUs out. i've driven stick like twice and getting it into first hurts but i'm ok w everything else. my friend drives a stick mini cooper s and has offered to tutor me further

Really? The people I bought my Mini off sold it for considerably less because manual immediately turns people off for buying it, but maybe thats just an East Coast thing?
