From the same thread:
[Not sure if srs..]
I had driven manual cars maybe a total of 15min before I bought my S. I expected about a week curve to be able to drive decent and a couple months to be able to drive at competition level. However I was easily able to master (or be able to drive extremely well) within 24 hours of owning the car. I was able to do this in part by watching lots of Youtube videos. I also bought a $300 computer steering wheel with shifter and clutch pedal along with a racing simulator before driving a manual car. This helped tremendously as I was able to practice performance driving skills without harming a car. I then returned the system after a few weeks. The racing simulator was only about $20 off ebay.

I rarely downshift. That is something you would do in autocrossing or racing.
ORLY?

Of course downshifting is necessary...
If I'm driving down the road in 5th, and have to make a right turn at an intersection on green, you think I should stay in 5th?
And no, flying around the 90* right hander at 45 mph in traffic is not one of your options.

Sup guys. Any one have a cheap car for sale? A teacher friend of mine was hit and her car is totaled. Needless to say she can't just run out and buy a new one.
