good stuff. i had an '87 legend coupe (5 speed) and a '94 legend sedan type II gs with the nsx 6 speed stick! the super thin pillars front and back on my coupe were amazing.
The NSX of that era (NA1) had a 5-speed. It didn't get a 6-speed until the NA2 launched for MY1998. In either case, totally different trans design for a mid-engine RWD exotic vs. a FWD car.
That said, Honda manuals have always been great, though I never drove the legend, I drove both the smaller Integra and the later 1st-gen CL and were fantastic, so I'm sure the Legends were a joy to drive.
My car is at the independent mechanic for the 40k B service, and they gave me a Jetta loaner. I actually really like it. Very basic, but it has CarPlay and feels zippy and handles well...I had to pick my kids up from camp and take them to a doctors appointment and they needed lunch on the way, they destroyed it in the backseat so bad I actually took it and got it washed lol. No cupholders in the back seat!

I’ve rented both a Jetta and an Altima for somewhat long trips and I would take the Jetta all day long. I know you liked the last Altima you had but I was not impressed at all.

I always liked the Jetta. The 1.5T engine still uses a timing belt in 2023
Playing a game of "can it be coded" right now with my locksmith, I think we are close to figuring out/bypassing the need to have the dealer code my Audis.
EDIT: we got it! Pulled the BCM keys and coded spare keys.
This kinda wraps back into what I was saying that if you know how/have tools fobs can be cloned even when you are supposed to need dealer only coding.

That last Altima I had was really old. I have never driven the modern one. This makes me really think I should go check out an Atlas.
Interior is really simple but I like the driver focus and the ergonomics of everything.

I've had several Altima rentals. The 5th gen (I think 2013 to 2018 or so) models that I have had I was actually pretty impressed with. I've only had one 6th gen Altima rental, last year in Hawaii. I felt like it was a significant step down from the previous gen. Not bad, but certainly not impressive at all.
