From all the complaining about clutch engagement I've heard, how hard it is, tiring etc. I just want to say next time "Go tell it the Marines". What a bunch of lazy out of shape pansy's we have here. My 370 was the easiest clutch to engage over and over, I have ever known. My 1953 Chevy clutch would likely kill some. The same clutch my Grandma drove until she was 86.

If this deters you from buying a manual, you need more exercise. It is not the cars fault. No, it is not fun to crawl in traffic with or without an automatic.

This subject now reminds me of the whole VDC off, equals sure death opinion. Please do not blame the car for your own deficiencies.
Thank you for this new, exciting, and interesting opinion that no one on any car forum has ever expressed!
