Seemed like my absolute dream truck....I drove 1.5 hours to test drive it and man. It drove so differently than my 20 year old shitbox mazda3 with 400k km on it. The throws for the gears were so long, the gears were kinda just there....you found them but felt loose 1st and 2nd gear were totally useless felt like I was in a semi-truck I would be in like 3rd gear before finishing making a left. Mind you none of this felt like, something was wrong or mechanically bad just the way the transmission/truck was. The clutch felt awful, zero feeling had no idea when the truck was biting, stalled it twice like a loser and the throttle felt like an awful electronic one with so much lag. Plus the parking brake is a pedal, which is fine but it blocks you from using the dead pedal properly as if you lift your fit to go use the clutch it hits the back of the parking brake.
Overall....I was totally disappointed, anyone here own one of these with the 6 speed manual? Am I just being stupid thinking this thing would drive like a car? When I hopped back into my mazda and drove home...it felt like a fucking sports car compared to it, the shifting was so tight responsive so much power even at 20 years old. I think I am just falling for my own meme of manual good automatic bad and in this case for trucks....it may not be true at least for my driving style.
