I actually learned how to drive on stick, but then haven't driven it for five years or so. When I went to test drive the Vibe, I actually tried the standard out and was able to go without stalling but didn't feel confident enough with it to take it out of the parking lot. I've heard that standard is also way more awesome than automatic in the fun sense. I'm leaning in that direction for whatever I might get. Does the constant use of both hands while city driving ever become a problem (like when drinking a slurpee?), or do you just have to make more liberal use of your cupholders, stay off the cellphone, etc?

It's way more awesome than the automatic, in the most technically mechanical engineering sense. You can drive mine sometime if you want – can you drive a manual?
