Wait so Americans can do a driving test in an automatic car then drive a manual legally? That can't happen in the UK which I guess why the majority of people learn to drive manual in the UK. 2 different licenses, full license = learning and doing test in manual which allows you to drive Manual and Automatic OR a automatic license where you learn in automatic and do your test in one and you're not allowed to drive manual (Unless you do the full license).

[@Thomas.R]

HuzzyGames hahahah what?! in the US you can take the test in whatever car you choose and once you have your license you can drive any cars/trucks in the specific class (aka anything other than Semi trucks and motorcycles) and it doesn’t matter if it’s auto or manual. I (a 16 year old) personally learned on an auto and took my test in one, but after passing I bought a Focus ST (manual obv) and taught myself and drove without any other specific license or training

Trithis sometimes I purposely take routes where I have to be at a complete stop on a hill so I know I still got it still. Even tho no matter how long you've been driving a stick you'll still kill it every once in awhile

Now most cars have hill start assist so he won't have to worry about the brakes and all he will really have to do is give it a bit more gas than normal.

[@JessieTrinket]

Flamethrowerxl, Ya I guess it really depends on what car he gets, but if he ends up getting something vintage like a GT40 I doubt it will have hill start assist.

[@mwmolyneux]

From what I could tell from the other video, I think he said that he might be getting a replica gt40, but I'm not 100% sure. Either way, using the handbrake is not too hard for hill starts, and I prefer to use it. I have tried driving one of the new civics which has and electronic hand brake so there is no real way to keep the car from rolling other than the hill start assist, which I am not a fan of.

[@Biomirth]

I still always peel out from a hill stop driving stick. I get so nervous about rolling back that I just drag-race the hell out of there when it's time to go.

[@unwarrantedpianist7822]

His throttle argument only really relates to high-performance cars that have enough strength to move when idling. My car is an economy car and if I just let off the clutch in gear without moving, it'll stall no questions asked. I had to learn to really work the clutch so that it's being released as I'm giving the car just the right amount of gas.

[@9977campbell]

Unwarranted Pianist Yeah he stated with more Torque in a vehicle it helps cause the torque will just launch the car

[@mwmolyneux]

I agree, although I think that learning in a higher torque car will give him a confidence boost to help him to learn, it could hurt him if he ever tries to drive a less powerful car

[@unwarrantedpianist7822]

Exactly. Who's to say every car he'll drive from now on will be sporty? I may just be jealous but I kinda think it's cheating to learn stick in a car that isn't easy to stall XD

[@Magga1991]

Hey @VaderPepe and @ImStorm YT , may i give you a little advice. The only problem is that if you are on a hill with a manual stick car and let out the clutch and the brake, the car will start to roll backwards, if your not fast enough to shift and drive. So here´s the advice: Let´s say you are on the road and there comes a traffic light on a hill and you have to stop. So, point of departure, car on a sloping, car standing still, engine is on, right foot on the brake, shifter in manual position. Now you can lift your handbrake and let go the pedal brake with your right foot. The car won´t move. You now have all time of the world to do the following. Left foot put down your clutch completly, put in 1st gear, then slowly release the clutch, BUT hold it at the point where the car normally on even roads starts to roll (we are calling this "grinding point") , slightly push the gas pedal with your right foot, your are stil holding the clutch "at the grinding point" and then you release the handbrake, a little bit more gas, releasing the clutch completly and instant ready to go with your car, no roll back, no fear to stall. ;) Try this at first on even ground, once you masterd it, you´ll love every hill your going up, out of first gear :) I was teached this on driving school, but nowadays i am confidend enough to do the normally shifting gears out of 1st fast enough without the handbrake thing on a hill. I normally use this only if i travel around with a big loaded trailer and have to start at a realy big hill ;) Have fun trying this out and greetings from germany!

Rule 1) Don't rest your hand on the stick, or you'll wear out the gears _way_ faster than they should be. This is the only rule you really need to memorize. A lot of people make a bad habit out of forgetting this simple rule--more due to complacency than anything else--but it means more than triple the tune ups than you should _ever_ have to do in that vehicle's life time if you rest on it constantly.

[@clintborasio8701]

Flamethrowerxl driving in general isnt very fun to me so id much rather have an automatic, cars are just tools after all so why get one thats way more work to use but does the same thing

[@iuliancalin22]

automatic are boring as fuck

[@jaejoongkim4926]

My parents made me learn in automatic too. I started off with a manual car and then brought a automatic Mazda 3 as a daily run around car. At the time I wanted to learn in dad's auto but now I'm glad they made me learn in manual because I've now got an interest in old classic cars. I wouldn't be able to drive a classic if I got my license in a auto.

[@JMNTN]

Here there is a driver's license for when you did tour test in manual or auto, that's why most people in Europe learn manual

[@christianc1282]

Thts good tht you learned from someone. I literally one day just said i want a manual n drove 4 hours to get a g35 without even knowing how to drive it, it took me about an hour to get out of the town i bought it from year later now im drivin a 2019 mustang gt 6 speed.

Learned in parents' 100HP Fiat 500 and moved onto my own 250HP Golf R a few months later. Can confirm that until about 500HP when you start to have stronger, stickier clutches (especially if the car's modified) more power and torque makes stick shift easier.

[@TheToxicGunn3r]

Lol I remember getting my first manual, I used to stall all the time at stop signs and stoplights but after a while you don't even have to think about it. I live in New York so drivers aren't always forgiving when you stall in front of them...

[@TheRedDaren]

Manual is just mastering the biting point.

[@sample.text.]

Honestly Jordan, you should get a manual daily. Nothing crazy, something like a VW GTi. And just drive that around in traffic and to run menial errands. You won't have to worry about burning the clutch or stalling or anything. And honestly within 3 days you'll be a pro. (edit: Don't bother with the Hyundai, you're going to want something with decent power and the Hyundai will get old within a week.)

[@inferior2955]

s a m p l e t e x t : A jetta tdi is a better choice for a daily driver they have low horsepower but it equates to it having very high mpg if you drive it nice and not bully the engine you can get about 50 mpg on the highway

[@andreypartikevich1355]

Very professional instructor. Calm and perfectly explains what needs to be done step by step

[@pizzaguy505]

This was pretty solid for your first time, mustang was a good choice. My 2015 sti will stall without gas unless you’re on a declined hill as with most other 4 cylinder vehicles, but big ole engines like that 5.0 help you out a lot!

[@totalmc122]

14:10 Never put the car in neutral when braking. That prevents engine braking and at high speeds can overheat the brakes. Just brake normally and when you feel the car starting to jitter press in the clutch, it's much safer that way.

[@DSP1337]

I am pretty sure that most modern cars apply a slight bit of throttle while the clutch is released. At least my Seat does that and the Mustang might as well. Jordans confidence might be crushed as soon as he tries an older car without this assistance AND less torque. I know what I'm talking about coming from a modern Diesel driving school car to an old Golf as my first car some years ago...

[@neighbourhoodhero]

No just no

[@dylanw4113]

neighbourhoodhero yes...especially on a mustang you can feel the car give itself gas if you get to far off the clutch without stalling

[@neighbourhoodhero]

Well no, throttle isn't added, the noise your hearing is the clutch and prop catching up to the engine speed, if you watch the revs they will temporarily drop, i haven't been in or owned any manual cars that gains revs on just a clutch pull off, granted I've never had a poxy Ford nor a mustang for that matter, clutch control is find the bite point, then slowly let it out then add throttle when your learning. Might be different in America. Doubt it though.

[@DSP1337]

neighbourhoodhero I have the experience, that at least the later cars of the VW group act like this. My first car, a Golf Mk 4, did only engage the clutch normally - as you said, spinning and slowly catching up to idle revs. My new car (Seat Leon 5f) as well as the car my driving school had (2016 A3 TDI), definitely applies throttle while the clutch engages. Absolutely no doubt about it and completely independent of the type of engine (HP / torque). This behaviour goes so far that when I quickly depress the clutch shortly before it could have grabbed, the revs jump up quickly before returning to idle, proving the point that throttle was applied. But - as I said - this might be different for the Mustang, still I highly doubt it.

[@dylanw4113]

where you from?

[@sharrrodreeed3182]

fireclouD 😭😭

[@lessefrost]

One thing you'll learn is that every car is a little bit different in the clutch and shifting. Each transmission takes a different amount of force and the clutch engages differently. When you're in a lower HP car you absolutely need to learn how to balance the throttle with the clutch. Lower HP cars will not roll off idle nearlu as easily as the car you learned in.

Now Jardon is a real man.

[@danfors1333]

It's very easy to drive manual in Denmark though. You never need to start from zero driving uphill or engine brake downhill because Denmark is completely flat. You don't have to learn handling the clutch during loss of friction either since there hardly are any slippery roads during winter. It's too easy to drive in Denmark. Danes aren't suited to drive in other countries with their manual cars because they have no experience of proper driving.

I always watch these type of videos to remind me of when I was learning to drive manual for the first time, how bad I was.... for some reason it makes me smile

[@Ajaxster]

funny enough my first car that I had was a Rusted out, dented, and scratched up 1990s - 2000s Hyundai Accent Hatch in Champagne color that I got to keep for like 3 days. It was an Auto and it was an old car my cousins were gonna get rid of so they thought I could have it but it was horribly unsafe to drive, still had fun driving way faster than that thing should have ever gone down the highway as it was literally shaking itself apart and the brakes were so rusted out they could've gave out at any moment... So when returning that car back to my cousins my dad and I stopped by a VW dealer in the area just to check it out... Ended up finding my ACTUAL first car that I still drive today, which is a used 2015 golf tsi, the VW dealer was trying to get rid of it because it was a low end base model that literally had 0 features or upgrades and was a 2 door manual. So at the time, although being about 1 and a half years old, we got a really good deal on it, my dad actually agreed to buy it after a bit of convincing from my end to get a manual as my first car, but I managed too and its one of the most fun cars I get to drive. If it wasn't for that random Weekend blowout sale at the VW dealership I dont think I would've gotten a car that new and let alone a manual. For me Manuals add a great level of engagement in driving that to me is always worth all the "downsides" to manual cars. It is not for everyone but If you are looking for your first car and are considering a manual, ignore the negativity and go for it, it will make your a more attentive driver and they're great fun, and its a good skill to know.
