1st to 2nd is a bit tricky at first due to the super heavy flywheel and long clutch pedal engagement. But after a couple days you would be proficient at it.

A manual can't shift smoother and faster than an auto.

Well, since I can't use the mouse with my left hand, I guess the decision was made for me.
