Hello,

I was wondering how the transmission being a manual is like to drive? Is it
as smooth as they say? I mean as far as when you let out the clutch and what
about the shifting? Are the gates well defined or mushy?

I had a 1990 Miata 5 speed and the shifting actually made a click sound when
you shifted from one gear to another because the gates were so presise. I
also liked the way the Miata had really short throws, and I was wondering
how people like the shifting on the accord?

I imagine it will make the car perform better than an automatic. Gas mileage
is so close the reason is more for performance than fuel efficiency,
although the manual is about 800.00 less.
