The truth is, every car has its sweetspot. The questions are, where? How? What? Which way to make it dance? Trust me, given a dugong J MT, I can make it scream like a b**** yelling More More

That's not the entire story. I've begun to learn accepting the fact that the good old days has passed. Thanks to
ericmaxman, the f***er literally gave me a huge slap on my face when I complaining about FC sohigh in GaGa, whilst throttle lagged like pressing the gas pedal the engine from Pluto answer "Oh Ya?!" Then back to our moon to hear the exhaust sound "Blehhh". Trust me, the feeling of spending 28k on some not satisfying car indeed a ball sucking anus bleeding experience, compare to 4G13 running on 4 toto + N1 straight flow is heaven and hell.
yeap fully agree. and at the same page, everyone has their preferences of sweet spots

and as you said, pretty much why i'm holding back on buying "cheaper" modern cars. there is just NOTHING that can satisfy me unfortunately

atm looking at the inspira manual, looks like it can be something that could fit my needs until i can somehow drag my pay to about 10k or so to finally be able to "qualify" properly to own an impreza XD
besides, it's bout time i practice driving a manual car as second nature? would look ugly stalling an impreza

and that day everything was "ok" because we're taking it real easy, and of course as i said, i've been practicing/playing around with the kancil after all. else'd we'd be having awkward moments of stalling your favorite car

who knows what'll happen in this 1-2 years time though. inspira would actually be ok as i've funded and almost finish financing a nissan sentra at just about the same price. but eh maybe there's new offering that could caught my fancy. i'm pretty much treading into unknown territory with manual cars anyways heh.
