I just came back from a drive- and it's a physical experience, from the tactile feel to the sound.

I will admit, that since this is my first manual car, enjoyment goes up week by week as my abilities improve. I had rudimentary skills prior from dicking around on a friends Jetta - but only after driving it often do you really improve.

First week was tough; plenty of stoplight stalls and rough gear changes.

To appreciate the car you really have to master driving it. It's simple on a paddle-shift BMW, but on this car the curve is a bit steeper but more rewarding.
