I finally took my new S2k out for a drive today to get use to the controls and driving a MT car. After 30mins of practicing, I got use to it and drove it on normal roads. There is like so many things you have to think about when driving a MT car but that is why I switched from an auto so I'll only get better. I also picked up a litre of Castrol to top up if I burn any oil in the break in. Spring hopefully has arrived.

 

Congrats, take it easy until you get used to her.

 

It'll take you a week or so to get smooooth.... Have fun!

 

I bought my S, having never drived a stick shift. That night a friend took me into a mall parking lot with his Eclipse and 4 hours later I finally had the hang of it. I guess I'm a bit spoiled now, because whenever I drive another car with MT, it doesn't even come close to the same feel!

 

yeah, that is what all my other friends say that have driven a S, no other manual feels as good. I think the tranny is a bit notchy but then again I wouldn't know what a really notchy one feels like. My other friends like the feel. I think I'll take her out again now =)
