Love your analogies, patience & ability to make the impossible attainable step by step visually, verbally and via your very real personal experiences! 😊
hey Yosef! i don’t often comment on TH-cam videos but just wanted to say you really have a gift for teaching and communicating. I recently purchased a Golf R and your videos were a huge help. hope to see your channel grow!
Thank you so much for your really kind words and for your support, it means a lot! Every time I make a video there is always the low confidence introvert inside me that says don't do it, but I'm trying to use this experience as a way to overcome that. It's really rewarding and motivating knowing that I can deliver value through my videos😁.
Wow, fantastic! I have seen ure vids before but I had to comment on this one! Great info and analogies! I have taught a few ppl to drive manual and this will be my go to beginners vid!
Thank you so much Alex, I really appreciate your comment and your support by watching the videos!! I was really hesitant to make this video at the beginning because I thought no one would care to watch it and Im likely not the best person to discuss the topic, but I am happy I did :). Im thrilled to hear that my content is enjoyable and valuable, thats the goal! If you ever have any ideas for me, feel free to let me know :)
I did the same, I purchased a manual and did not even now how to drive it, so I had to learn how while the car was on route, I took ONE lesson with a MANUAL drive instructor, I almost broke his car, but I tried everything that I needed to TRY... like ON A HILL and rolling backwards, DOES VOLKSWAGEN HAVE HILL ASSIST... foot on brake and then on a hill it will HOLD for you while you move feet to Clutch and gas.... ?and the second thing I needed to find out, was HOW wild I could give gas, and how it effects power to wheels in 1st and second... IT WAS ROCKING back and forth... the driver instructor who had a pedal on his side quickly put the clutch in and ASKED.... WHAT in the world are you doing? I said I needed to know what the CAR would do when I pushed the gas in and out? and I found out on HIS CAR..... not mine when I got is 6 weeks after the order..... I have had.... 9 manual transmission cars... RX7, 2 Toyota Celica GTS's, A Volkswagen GTI, a Honda Prelude SE, a FORD Escort GT... so much fun, but the RAV4 was 10 years with me then went for a MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS 6 speed, WOW that was fun fun fun, and had Hill Hold assist... the first manual was a Camaro 5 litre High Output.... which was only maybe 135 to 180 hp and a V8... and to wonder HOW VW Golf R has 2 litre, 315 hp.... I did also have a Mercedes Benz A45 375 HP 2 liner.... so I'll be LOVING the VOLKSwagen R if I take the plunge....... THESE VIDEOS HELP PUSH ME TO WANT that FUN again..... Thanks YOSEF.... or Cat Stephens....
Thank you so much for your comment and for supporting my channel by watching the video, I really appreciate it! Wow, good for you to that's amazing! Some times learning on the car you buy is the only way! I'm glad to hear that you were able to try everything you needed to on an instructors car, that definitely helps! Hills are definitely a challenge at the beginning, especially when you don't have a hand brake. These new golf rs have Hill assist that works really well. Sometimes I wish I could turn it off because it holds the brakes very aggressively, but you get used to it. The clutch control of rigging the car on the bite point is really important to know for stop and go traffic. Wow, you really had a lot of fun manual cars, good for you!! Which one was your favorite? I'm glad to hear that my videos here are helpful!!
Thank you so much for your comment and for watching my video, I really appreciate it! I haven't driven barefoot, but can imagine that it would be an interesting experience to try
