I have not driven many standard transmissions. My 79 Chevy Monza, a 72 Chevy tow truck. Those were years ago, but while looking for my convertible I drove a 2013 BMW Z4, a 2017 Mustang GT (only because wife didn't like crossfire), and the crossfire. Out of all of those I liked the crossfire shifting the best. Maybe it was just suited to my driving style. Did not matter in the end I bought an SRT6.
