Ok, I know the article was for the roadster, but since I'm still deciding between a 7AT vs. 6MT coupe and since the transmission I'm sure is the same in both cars, can someone tell me:
1. So what is so troublesome with the 6MT- Difficult to drive smooth? Haven't really heard about any mechanical issues with it though.
2. Is the clutch really that heavy?

There both good choices some like to bang gears and some like to blip thru the gears and opt to keep in drive when in heavy traffic. You can test drive both and you decide what's right for you. good luck!
