Should I learn to drive a manual? I want a Mustang but don't

Not if you get stuck in traffic a lot.

But should you learn it? Sure, why not?

Autists/Friendless losers like it. Why? Because we don't have anyone to text and drive so being busy with the clutch and stick doesn't matter.

There he is. There he goes again. Look, everyone! He posted it once again! Isn't he just the funniest guy around?! Oh my God!

I can almost see your pathetic overweight frame glowing in the dark, lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room, giggling like a like girl as you once again type your little Bane thread up and fill in the captcha. Or maybe you don't even fill in the captcha. Maybe you're such a disgusting NEET that you actually paid for a 4chan pass, so you just choose the picture. Oh, and we all know the picture. The "epic" CIA agent guy, isn't it? I imagine you little shit laughing so hard as you click it that you drop your Doritos on the floor, but it's ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh, that's right. Did I fail to mention? You live with your mother. You are a fat fucking fuckup, she's probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all goddamn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on 4chan posting about a capeshit movie. Just imagine this. She had you, and then she thought you were gonna be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand, and then you became a NEET. A pathetic Banefag NEET. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can't even try to talk with you because all you say is "FOR YOU FOR YOU FOR YOU." You've become a parody of your own self. And that's all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he's done a million times now. And that's all you'll ever be.

Forever.

You want to drive manual, that's great, why not drive a good car then?

>>16824023
That's usually the breaking point for most people, but many of us deal with heavy traffic on a regular basis and drive manuals but we don't bitch and whine about it because when the road is wide open it's more enjoyable to drive

>>16824588
But its the perfect vehicle

If you're an absolute beginner it can be a bit of a pain to get stuck in a traffic jam with a manual.

Once you can actually operate it you'll prefer to have the manual in a traffic jam anyway.

>>16824019
Yeah, at least for the experience

Have my reasons for the i4 over v8 but figure I can catch less flak by learning stick

The pro is that people can't steal your car, the con is that you'll then be shot by the incompetent asswipes.

Absolutely they can.

>Should I learn to drive a manual?
No you shouldn't

>>16824019

go to every dealer in town and test drive manual cars

>>16825673
That's the thing though. People that seek out manual transmissions like to work for what they want, instead of taking the easy way out.

>>16824019
Pro: meme
Con: everything
Don't learn manual not worth it

>>16825691
>People that seek out manual transmissions like to work for what they want, instead of taking the easy way out.
False, it means they found the car they want on the lot but it has a manual transmission.
Stop assuming people have higher intentions than just grabbing what has the most features.

>>16825626
Dude you replied to here. Also a v6 owner. Don't get anything other the v8, it's a never ending shit storm of people you don't care about giving you crap for your car.

Better option would be a gt86. People think it's expensive + it's better in every way but power. That'll be my next car once I can go full time and comfortably afford a new car.

>>16825707
i bought my car specifically because it had stick shift. If it was auto i would have turned 360 degrees and walked away

140hp shitboxes with autos are no fun
140hp shitboxes with stick are fun

>>16825626
Also having a manual doesn't help at all. I'm sure ecoboost would get even more flak than my $1000 v6 because you don't have the excuse of not being able to afford something better.

>>16825748
>i bought my car specifically because it had stick shift. If it was auto i would have turned 360 degrees and walked away
That's cool but you're not everybody.
I know of at least 3 people in my town including my brother who literally do not give one shit what transmission it has and will buy the car regardless.

>>16825707
The only reason I bought my I4 shitbox was because it came in stick and it was a pretty good manual. 100% would not have purchased it if it was only available in the auto/CVT.

It comes down to cost. A GT premium would go another $10k. That's on top of insurance and gas, though those are less important. A louder engine isn't worth that to me

But I don't like trying to explain myself everytime it comes up or being called a pussy lol. "SHOULDA GOT A V8 ANON"

$20 you'll want the V8 at a later point and you'll hit yourself for not getting it while you had the chance. You don't realize how gutless a 4 banger is until you drive something with torque.

>>16825809
Just trust me on this one. If you can't afford the real thing then buy something else. You purchasing a meme-boost just tells ford to make more of them because it's in demand, another reason you'll get shit.

>>16825817

It's not a louder engine. It's the entire fucking point of the vehicle. Go get a Civic if you want a turbo I4.

I was planning on tuning the Eco anyways, and that wouldn't be cheap. So if I found a good deal on a GT Premium...and maybe I can...

Would you give me shit less shit for an auto GT?

>>16825855
New autos are technically better than manuals just less fun, so probably.

>>16825855

Why is it wrong to get an Ecoboost I4? Shit makes more power than the V6 but brings back to the days of the foxbody

I just bought a gt premium mustang v8.... with autotragic transmission.

I've never owned a manual but can drive one. The only two reasons I went with the auto is that I might eventually get transferred to the D.C. Area and already live in a city, and my family may need to drive my car at some point and they can't drive manual.

Did I fuck up?

>>16825870
Because
A: V6 is a shit engine no matter what
B: It doesn't have the potential that the V8 has
C: Forced induction engines are under more stress than N/A

>>16825870
It's a non-V8 muscle car. Automatically shit

>>16825876
you fucked up when you got a family cuck

>>16825870
>Shit makes more power than the V6 but brings back to the days of the foxbody
No it really doesn't bring back the days of the fox. The days of the fox where Five fucking Ohs. The SVO was kind of neat but nobody really gave a shit and it died quickly. The SVO is not the go to memory of a fox body mustang. It's not the fucking numbers on paper. It's the feeling of V8 torque in a fucking muscle car.

No, drive a manual in the D.C. metro area and realize what Hell really is.

>>16825887
>It's the feeling of V8 torque in a fucking muscle car
Torque virgin here. What is this feel

>>16825889
I drive in New Orleans metro traffic in a manual. You have to be mentally disabled to struggle or even feel effort after the first month in hard stop and go traffic. You also have to be mentally disabled to try and do the automatic crawl in stop and go traffic. Just fucking weight until the cars infront of you are actually moving, then take off and fully release the clutch.

>>16825897
>What is this feel
idling down the street at 20mph

>>16825904
>New Orleans
Oh so it's fucking nothing.
lel D.C. is a whole nother ball game m8 stop frontin.

>>16825897
It's what makes your shitty ancient V8 actually feel fast. There is no way to describe what it's like to have more torque at take off than many I4s make at peak.

>>16825897
It feels like when you go over the peak on a roller coaster and start rapidly descending down. Gives you butterflies in your stomach.

Just imagine braking really hard but in reverse

>>16825914

What is all of downtown New Orleans

DC does have worse traffic because you're a bigger city, but don't fucking pretend like it's orders of magnitude worse. Even TomTom has you at rank 90 and us at 123 for the entire world. Nevermind that Baton Rouge is 106 You spend 4% more time in traffic on average. Miss me with that whining shit DC Niggers.

>>16825626
What are your reasons, not affording an i4?
A v6 or a v8 'stang would be better in every concievable way, and would have a more predictable powerband, so that way you would have more fun with "enthusiast driving".
You also would get torque straight away after accelerating, making it a more fun and reliable ride compared to the ecoboost.

>>16826415
>a v6 will be better in every conceivable way than a turbo i4

this folks, is what true mental disability sounds like

kill yourself you useless degenerate

>>16826415
there is so much wrong with this post

the i4 is objectively superior to the v6, especially if you throw on the performance package. all of its power is in the lower and mid RPM

v6 is trash rental car tier. the ONLY reason to get a v6 is because it's the only one you can afford, or you can only afford the i4 and v6 and are that desperate to have some sort of growl
