Hello,
I currently have an auto 07 civic ex. My plan is to get a 13 Si having limited manual experience.
How much experience did you have / recommend before jumping to a manual?
I've never owned a motorcycle but I do have a motorcycle license so I have worked with a manual before. I also found somebody locally who let me use their manual honda fit to practice in for a low fee for about two hours. Shifting was fine. From the start I never had an issue there.
My only somewhat weak spot is starting from a stop and not stalling. By the end I was stalling say 1 out of 15 times.
I'm in south Florida which is relatively flat. Highway exits, overpasses, etc.. do have some elevation change. Nothing like when I lived in NY, but starting out from a stop on a "hill" and not rolling back and/or stalling is a concern. Haven't had to add in the third variable of braking yet while going forward.
I could potentially rent the fit some more, but it's kind of out of the way and local so doesn't really help with my weak points.
