Yes it does suck. It sucks like no other. A 15 minute light traffic jam isn't too bad but if you're sitting there for 30+ minute, it will get old, REAL quick. I've been driving a manual for the past ~7 years and if I moved to a traffic heavy place, I'd consider getting a 2nd car (if I had money...) or selling the Evo since I have to DD it. Traffic and a clutch gets to you after a while. Luckily for me I'm normally not in complete stop and go hardly at all.
