Buddah is on a distinguished road
Manual is the way to go. I work for Honda. I was a participant of the Ride&Drive for Honda employees to become familiar with the vehicle. It is very user friendly especially for new manual drivers. Being an experienced manual driver, I took it through it's paces and tried almost every kind of driving style. It is nearly impossible to stall in the vehicle for one thing. If you guys ever get the chance to take a manual for a spin...try this---come to a complete stop at a red light and let go of the clutch without adding gas. You'll notice the vehicle will not stall...instead it will inch forward. On the other hand, if you have your foot on the brake, it will stall. Pretty neat safety feature if you ask me. Too bad I won't have that engine long enough to enjoy that feature much as I'll be doing a swap soon after I pick it up.

Cheers,
Buddah.
