I've driven automatic cars for maybe a total of 20 minutes in my entire life
.
Learned to drive in a manual VN stationwagon... Work cars have been 5 speed JE Camira, 5 speed VS wagon and now 5 speed Hyundai Getz, as well as my own car - VN exec 5 speed manual
.
A lady I work with just bought a new Mazda 6, the luxury model with the tiptronic shift. I got confused with it, I was fine changing from 1st to 2nd but going from 2nd to 3rd I had a bad habit of pushing it the wrong direction
. Oh, and I'm proud to say, I can do smoother gear shifts than the auto box in that Mazda
