Sorry but Type-R DOES NOT come with an Automatic Transmission...Also an Si. :/But you can always get an EX...close to an Si.Also stick is very easy to drive, there are 3 pedals, gas brake and the new one, clutch. The clutch is pressed to start the cars and change gears. To start the car, you press the clutch, and hold it down, then start up the car, and put the stick shifter in Neutral (Middle) and then you slowly release the clutch while pressing the gas, then put it in 1st gear. Give it a little gas, rev up to between 2000 and 3000 rpm, if you give it higher rpm to the redline, the car will get more power and "burn rubber" and that is a called an oversteer. If you give it too little, it is called an understeer and you will lose gas efficiency. To change gears, press the clutch and change from 1st to 2nd and so on. NEVER start the car without pressing the clutch or else the car will "Stall"...which is bad.
