That I still think manual cars are fun.

First MT car in a long time
The other day, I drove my Boxster GTS (MT) for the first time in a while when I went to pick up my youngest daughter from kindergarten. After that, I drove around the neighborhood for a bit and came home. It was a beautiful sunny day, so it was very pleasant.
And once again, "Manuals are fun.I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.
When I got home, I said to myself, "Manuals are so much fun!The feeling of driving the car by yourself, operating the clutch and gearsBut it's really easy! My husband said to me.
Yes, it is true that manual transmission is fun. However, when I go on long-distance tours and drive through city areas with many traffic lights or in traffic jams, I sometimes think that I would prefer an automatic transmission. In those situations, a manual transmission is a hassle.
And.
I guess that's true. I only drive a manual car once in a while, so the sensation of operating it myself is fresh and extraordinarily "Fun!Maybe you feel that "I'm not sure.
PDK of GT3, MT
."Which is more fun, a manual car or an automatic car?I think "what is the best way to go about it" is something that is often discussed. However, this depends on the situation in which the car is driven, the engine, displacement, torque, and many other factors.
In fact, my husband had just recently been driving a 911 GT3 Touring.
The MT GT3 was a lot of fun, but I don't think I could handle it. Because of the racing engine, there were many situations where I had to be very careful in first and second gear. Also, I had to use one hand to shift gears when turning a corner.I thought it was a shame not to be able to concentrate on the high performance handling that GT3 has to offer.There were also times when
So now I'm thinking that if I had the opportunity to buy the next 992 GT3, I'd probably choose PDK then.
He said.
Of course, even in GT3, some people say "MT is fun" while others say "PDK is fun," and I think again that the feeling must be different for each person.
Why did you choose a MT car?
In this context, I recently ordered my own MT car, and I thought again about why I chose it.
After giving it a lot of thought, I knew that "Because it's fun.I got to the point where I wondered if I had bought it.
I drive a car mainly for daily use in town, such as picking up my children and shopping at the supermarket, and in such use, a MT car would be quite cumbersome.
Every time there is a traffic light, every time a car cuts in, you have to shift gears, and there is no doubt that AT is definitely easier and more comfortable.
But I'm not a fan of the MT car's "Sense that you are driving at your own initiativeI like the "I like the car. If I don't operate the car, it will stop or behave strangely, and I enjoy the feeling that the decision is always left to me.
Besides, in the case of MT cars, it is easy to see how one's driving improves. "Shift shocks are no longer produced.or "It became smoother when starting off.I'm not sure if it's a "I'm a better driver" or something else, and the level of that growth is really low...but still, it's nice to be able to taste the improvement in my driving on a daily basis.
In my case, I was also unable to drive a MT car at all for about three years after I got my AT license removed because I couldn't get a feel for it.It's a dream come true for me to drive a Porsche MT car myself. I don't think I can do it anymore.I thought, "I've been thinking about that.
I can't believe that I am now driving a MT car! I am so happy to be able to drive a MT car now. If I wanted, I could roll down the window and say to someone on the street, "Look at me! I'm driving an MT car right now! I am so happy that I want to shout out to the people on the street, "Look at me!
Completely self-satisfied, isn't it?
Normally, many people would find manual cars troublesome, but in my case, I find them enjoyable, so I guess it really depends on the person.
And since both have their own charms and pleasures, in the end, the happiest person would be the one who drives a car that he or she can "enjoy".
And as for my MT car, the factory is going to stop in July again, so I don't know when the delivery will be... I'll just have to wait patiently.

I could really feel the fun of a MT car!
I have a MT-compatible driver's license, but I have only driven AT vehicles since I got my license, so I wanted to practice like MINA.
Changing the subject, if you have to wait this long for a new car, doesn't it make you wonder if there are other models you might be interested in, or if a used car would have been better?
I ordered a Porsche in January, production is finally set for next week, and I'm not sure when I will take delivery... During this time, my mind is constantly on other models and used cars.

Thank you!
I see that the January order has finally been approved for production...!
After all, the effects of the recent semiconductor shortage are really serious...

If I had a lot of budget, I might have swayed my mind.
I think I have made the most satisfactory choice when it comes to sporty and fun, within this budget and with a MT car, so I am not wavering at the moment;
But if I had a lot of budget, I think I would be swayed (laughs).
