So I decided to get a NC miata a few weeks ago, and most people online were saying if you are going to buy a sports car you should get a manual because its so much more fun and engaging etc. I figured if literally everyone was saying it well, it must be true, so I decided to make sure the one I got was a stick shift. It ends up I don't really like driving stick shift? For context I've been driving it for around two weeks which I'm aware isnt enough time to get great with it, but so far I'm just not messing with it. I have constant anxiety about stalling and rolling back even though I'm pretty good at not stalling on takeoffs, its hard for me to get a smooth take off without over revving or being jerky, and overall it really just feels like more work to get the same result I would have with an automatic. I don't know if I'm missing something about it but so far I dont see how it's supposed to be more fun, should I just sell it and get an Auto car instead or keep it for a while and see what happens?
