Test drove '03 Aero 5-spd & not sure I liked the manual

My first test drive was an Arc. This time I tried the Aero. I've always driven a manual & am hoping to get one with my next car purchase. In driving the Aero w/ 5-spd manual, moving the gearshift didn't seem to be "clean" and precise. Also if I left my hand on the gearshift, I could feel some vibration.
Is this normal? It doesn't seem to be much better than my old Accord manual. I was kind of disappointed in the way this felt for a luxury car...
