My old 911 with my perfectly setup 915 is a joy to use and likely my last manual.
My neighbor has a 2013 ish hundai hatchback thing its so weird to drive it does the rev hang thing so its very off putting to drive hard. I havnt quite figured it out yet. Also its so quiet its hard to drive when there is noise around. Im not sure its even possible to get used to it because he drives worse than I do stalling and lurching all over the place and hes been in it ten years.
