so you wont borrow the car because of that?
also, what is wrong with an auto?
Well ,as in my OP, I haven't yet passed my test, and I have only been practicing how to drive with 1 car (Corsa)
I was advised by my instructor to stick with manual only for at least 3-4 months so I don't get rusty with it..I also love manual control, drove the semi-auto a bit and it felt horrible without a clutch
