thanks so much for all the info and the great pov. i am looking to buy a gen 2 sport with a 5MT. I don't know how to drive manual yet but I am practicing on my racing sim at home, although I know it won't be a very good translation to irl. I am looking to save around 8k and have that be my budget. Much love

Keep on practicing on that race sim! I did that and watched a ton of KZread videos religiously before purchasing my first manual car in 2013. Was certainly a bit rough driving manual in real life at first but you'll pick it up quickly (like riding a bicycle).
