You will get the hang of the clutch no problem. Then it will seem so easy, you will wonder why you ever worried about it. My car is an auto (so the wife can drive), but I have driven alot of manuals as daily drivers and its not big deal, and more fun when you want it to be.

Good luck

I disagree. Almost impossible? Possible, and very do-able in standard driving conditions, but you have to be good at it.. and have REALLY good situational awareness. I don't have my Camaro yet, but my Jeep is a stick and I've managed to hold the phone in my left hand, steer with my right and be able to shift while doing it. Just gotta be quick changing gears, and plan ahead for turns... and of course pay attention to people around you.

I love driving stick, and I will most likely never buy an auto. It seems tedious when its 1mph traffic, or when you try to eat and drive but when you are just driving, it is super fun
