why not just find a showroom and book a test drive?

Because I'm 19 and I highly doubt they'll let me drive it, and I don't know how to drive stick yet. Mainly because I have no reason to. The cars available to me are all automatic, except my boyfriend's Supra. He's promised to teach me, but that hasn't happened yet.

Even if I could, I still wouldn't touch one of these myself unless I was a serious buyer. If I screw up the transmission on one of these please believe me when I say I cannot afford to fix it.

aww its not that bad.. well im 20.. soon to be 21. n ya ive booked a test drive for like 15 minutes.. u jus drive safe its not bad at all. n dont wry driving is simple if u understand the mechanics of a flywheel, clutch, and gearbox n understand how they all work together ull get why u need to step on the clutch b4 u change a gear n all that, it takes a lil bit to get used to but then it becomes second nature.

I think I'll wait until I'm at least 21 to test drive anything. I'm certain any dealership selling luxury and exotic cars worries about liability. I bet they could get nailed for letting a young driver damage a car that can be sold.

I've got the basic concept of it, but for some reason I can shift up perfectly fine, shifting down is difficult. I believe when I tried to learn the first time I was either too short to push the clutch in all the way or it was a tough clutch.

I'll get it eventually. Kinda have to if I plan on getting a nice little sports car for myself one day

hmmm.. about too short.. or tough clutch.... i think it was probably cuz every car is different? like on the first car i learnt on it was a RLLY old beat up fiat movin the clucth back n forth was so easy cuz the spring was jus killed. n the gear stick was like a feather, but then i drove my friend's chevy 3 months later n i couldnt even get the car up n running on first gear, took me a while.. like the acceleration peddle was more sensitive, releasing the clutch was more difficult cuz it was a strong spring.. etc. it comes with practice to be able to adjust urself to any car.

but ya the ferari is extremely relaxing and comfortably smooth i think it would fit anyone.

ya good idea wait till ur old and confident enough n have the time of ur life.
If you wanna get urself a good sports car as a beginner i recommend a skyline. its beautiful for beginners n feels rly good. it was my first sporty car when i was around 18.. (in egypt u can get ur license from 17 yrs old.. but i got mine when i was 15 hahaha.. so ya i drove a lot b4 i bought the sports car) now i own a ford focus RS.. cuz now i can afford it. if u can afford it from the beginning forget the skyline go for the focus RS its a beast

I don't know much about the condition of the clutch in that car, it was an old 240sx, but it was a piece of shit. I'm thinking its age might have had something to do with the difficulty of the clutch, but I really don't know. I've never tried to learn stick again in anything else so I can't compare it.
