call me crazy but i consider being able to drive a manual a potentially life saving skill. you just never know. its really not that hard to teach someone.
RX8s are sports cars (although nothing like a 7), theyre supposed to be manuals. I suspect there was something else that was off putting with your 8, but they are no means a fun car to take care of. they just didnt do anywhere near well as the 7s and the resale value doesnt hold like the 7s (even the FCs, i dont care about the FBs, sorry not sorry, LOL).
