he isnt asking anything, if you go through the thread...

The only downside of 5 spd, is that its hard for him to press the clutch because he hyperextended his knee playing volleyball.

i have trouble getting into reverse as well, i either go into first and then back to reverse without moving the car and that works or i let the car roll slightly then it goes into reverse no problem

THIS is the only downfall to stick. It's superior in every other situation, including stop and go traffic.

Although, I'll agree with the other guy who complained about driving it in traffic after a legs day. That can be hell.

I would NEVER buy this vehicle if I couldn't get it stick.

Manuals generally rob less horsepower and get better mileage if you drive them right. I have arthritis and walk with a limp - but I converted my auto to 5 speed. Of course, I can drive the SC4 or the GS or even the truck if my legs are just too bad.
