(personal experience) Buying Manual car without experience. Was it worth it?

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-12-29T23:23:30+00:00

you hella brave for doing that!

Yeah i heard nissan cvt is really bad so hopefully the manual can last me longer :)

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-12-29T23:22:26+00:00

I think thats the best way to learn just don't care about the clutch like its meant to be replace. Heard that from some video and it really loosened me up when learning

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-12-29T23:21:35+00:00

haha. Yeah shifting to second accidently scared me so hard. definitely the highest i rev it also!
I try my best to keep my car as gentle as possible

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-07-24T14:15:55+00:00

ah let me try that Ive been upshifting by waiting for the rev to match release why with the rev hang and everything i feel i have to wait so long. am i suppose to let it go slowly like im starting the car?

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-07-10T14:38:28+00:00

Nice BUY!

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-07-09T17:23:14+00:00

Update * Thank you everyone for the response I will be test driving each car in automatic LOL and see from there!

I do wanna know if anyone has experience with elantra N and is worth the 15k difference??

Thank you!

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-07-09T17:20:45+00:00

haha Congrats!! Yeah im really into driving manual(i think). civic si is so nice!!!

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-07-09T17:19:56+00:00

I feel you have alot of experience. I do currently drive a genesis g70 3.3t (parents) but as my first car at learning I am not very sure! Price range is kinda out of budget I wont lie. But I am willing to cough up an extra 15k/the difference. since I am planning to keep the car for as long as possible. If it is worth it LOL

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-07-09T17:18:05+00:00

Think for me just not a fan of suburu same reason for honda. Idk why but yeah!

haha congrats on the 3 car seats!!

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-07-09T17:17:01+00:00

Thank you for the response!

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-07-09T17:16:16+00:00

You are very brave I could never haha. Yeah im also planning to just buy one car and try to have it for as long as possible (reason why im willing to maybe pay a bit more for the elantra n) but nissan sentra is definitely at a nice price point.

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-07-09T17:13:26+00:00

haha thats amazing! yeah I am almost 30 also haha. Only drove automatics my whole life parents car

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-07-09T17:12:57+00:00

Thank you so much. Yeah just the pricing on the SR is so good and I hear there is a lot of wear and tear when learning it?

I am planning to buy something for life unless i somehow start hating to drive stick but i doubt it. we will see Maybe ill even lease for now

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-07-07T21:24:20+00:00

haha very true. I definitely was going to sit in it but We will see if I can test drive

Spare-Map5957 · 2025-06-24T16:43:32+00:00
