2011CS/GT

Although I have had many manuals I have to say this might be the easiest one to drive. A manual in a sports car is the only way to go for me. The only time I sometimes second guess myself is when I am in stop and go traffic. That part can suck sometimes. This is just my opinion and to each his own, but I feel like you get so much more out of the car with the manual.

I don't think you should be worried that this will be your first manual. I had maybe 15-20 mins of experience driving a manual before I bought my '06 GT. It's fairly easy to learn and the more time you spend behind the wheel, getting a feel for the car, the better you'll get. I can't see myself driving anything but a manual now. It's definitely a more rewarding driving experience and I think you'll be missing out if you choose to go w/ an auto simply because you lack experience with a manual.

The manuals are fun to drive, plus it is the first GT offered with a 6 speed. Plenty of power!!!

My first manual transmission was the gt500. Lol. Now I have had three manual tranmission cars, including my daily driver.

Go for it. You'll regret it if you don't.

Once you get used to driving a manual as a DD you won't notice the difference between it and an auto, shifting becomes second nature, as many have said manuals are fun and I couldn't see myself having an auto Mustang.

But.....I might add......

My white gt is an AUTO. I dearly love that car. I'd likely sell every last standard I had to keep it. So, don't let anyone tell you autos are no fun in these cars. I have had so much fun in that car.......

I do plan on using this as a daily driver. My morning commute isn't terrible, but it certainly isn't void of traffic by any means, haha.

As far as the headrest, I'll be sure to let you know torque.

The backseat is the same in auto and manual cars.

Who said my fun came in the back seat?
