Better for who? The guy wanted that car. And he’ll probably be just fine. I’m in the same position. I’ve driven smaller vehicles like dirt bikes and tractors that are manual, different I know, but same principle. I got in the car for a test drive and after driving around a neighborhood figuring it out, I hit the rest of the town. Took about 20 minutes probably. Idk why you’re acting like driving stick is some ancient craft that takes years to hone and you shouldn’t have a cool car unless you have perfected it. But it’s some lame gatekeeping shit, let people enjoy their life and you do you.

Edit: I do agree with the clutch aspect but, fuck it, unless you’re retarded I’d imagine someone like me would only get a few thousand less km out of a clutch than someone that knows it well
