Lol those are fun, shifting while on the phone................ah the fun lol, esp on a turn.

In my opinion everyone should know how to drive a manual. So why not learn with your first car.

But once again I have never heard of any study regarding the safety of a manual transmisson

I was looking at the 7th generations, (mainly 2003 because of cheaper) and saw this one: http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp;?tracktype=usedcc&searchType=22&amp ;pageNumber=0&numResultsPerPage=50&largeNu mResultsPerPage=0&sortorder=ascending&sort field=PRICE+ascending%2cPRICE+descending&certi fiedOnly=false&criteria=K-EX+coupe|E-ALL|M-_18_|H-|D-_212_|N-N|R-50|I-1%2c7|P-PRICE+ascending%2cPRICE+descending|Q-ascending|X-popular|Z-33433&aff=national&paId=289782956&recn um=7&leadExists=true
Does it have to many miles, you think to be getting it at? I was highly considering this one: http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp;?tracktype=usedcc&searchType=21&amp ;pageNumber=0&numResultsPerPage=50&largeNu mResultsPerPage=0&sortorder=descending&sor tfield=PRICE+descending&certifiedOnly=false&am p;criteria=K-|E-|M-_18_|B-9000|D-_212_|N-N|R-30|I-1%2c7|P-PRICE+descending|Q-descending|Z-33433&aff=national&paId=292162060&recn um=2&leadExists=true but I decided I would really prefer one with leather. So what is your opinion between the two.

a 03 for $6,000? seems ridiculously cheap. When my friend bought his 03 a year ago he paid like $13,000.

and 100,000 miles is nothing for a Honda.

convince your dad to let you geta manual, so much more fun, faster, more control over the car, better fuel economy, lasts longer than automatics. and after a few months you will be driving without even thinkin about shiftin, youll be so used to it.

I meant for a new driver. Like taking more attention. My dad is worried I will try to shift while eating or on the cell phone, and things like that
He should be worried about you DRIVING whileeating& talking on the phone; never mindthe shifting.
