I love my 6sp manual. Wife hates is because she can't chat on the phone, eat, read, sleep, etc... while trying to drive...

She never learned and we have been trying to have practice in a neighborhood that is under construction, but her patience is short lived. BTW, we found out that you can spin the wheels in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears...
I couldn't imagine having the car any way else.
Enjoy it!
