Resale problems with Manual

The lack of a third pedal is a deal breaker for me. I went the SMG route with a BMW. Within a couple years I traded it for stick.

I started driving manuals when I was very young and have been hooked every since. I'm quite older now and got into luxury autos. But still had the urge of wanting a stick again. So I bought the Z. Of course, the Z is not my DD; the Lexus is.

I had a Lexus GS350 F-Sport with paddle shifters for a few days. I purposely tried using the paddle shifters but never could get the hang of it. To me, it took a lot more thinking to get the up shifts and down shifts right. As opposed to shifting being second nature in my manual Z...almost no thinking involved.
