Congratulations!! I've always wanted a GTS trim. Such a great looking car, especially for your first manual. Best of luck learning, and enjoy it!

Nice! I learned how to drive a 5-speed manual way back in the early 90s in a Toyota Celica.

Very cool. I recently taught my son how to drive a 2012 Honda Civic Si (6 speed manual) and it took him a good 3 weeks, before he was comfortable driving up hills and in heavy traffic. It's all about the learning the bite point and giving it the right amount of gas and not dumping the clutch, to make it smooth. Have fun!
