my brothers scion tc is a stick, he taught me how to drive it in a flat parking lot and i got it down pretty quick, ive known the concept for a while (i race quads) at first i was nervous and scared, but in the end of that day, i felt comfortable driving it, and i think i could help in a situation that you explained with the desert (if it happened). I recently got my first car a 2007 Impreza 2.5i 5 speed. all my friends hate on it but, its my car and i paid for it and i love it. Great Video
yeah, its awsome having a manul car as your first, its so fun, and helps you focus, i used to not be focused with an automatic an f up a lot, but now that i have a stick shift car not any more. i lernd to drive stick ayear a go in summer and haven't been driving stick til couple weeks ago when i bought me a stick shift, all the knolege came right back to me. and also once you learn how to drive stick you never want to go back
I agree, I kinda want a manual for a first car but my parents keep telling me that I shouldn't, that i won't like it, but I think I will I just have to learn how to do it
My dad just says your not gonna understand it but little does he know I've been watching tutorials on TH-cam and fully understand what to do just never drove a manual
i got my da9 integra last week and learning stickshift wasnt all that difficult, i stalled once in the first 10mins but apart from that it was all good. i thought i would stall 50million times but im glad i didn't and its thanks to having knowledge in how the mechanics of the car works. it helps alot
My first car was a land rover defender 110 v8 manual. I feel that it really helped my driving skills, the bigger the car the better I think as a first car. If you can park a land rover you can park anything
The reason why I love ur videos is cause you truly know what ur talking about. And if you don"t know or not sure on something you ask people. Most people just assume what they think is what it is and end up messing up their car. Good videos man!
I bought my 2nd car, which was a VW stick shift, without knowing how to drive manual. I learned with this car, and to be honest, the risk was completely worth it. It is soooo much better than an automatic, I will never go back..... well at least until I have a child. And I could not agree more with Mike about the education aspect of it. If you want to work with ANY mechanical system in the future, it will greatly benefit knowing how an engine, transmission and clutch work.
Hey, Mike I just bought my first my this past weekend (Mazda 3 Hatchback) and its manual. Ive driven a few sticks before, a few 911's, mustangs, m3's G35's s40's A4's jetta's and honda's so i've pretty much seen it all, Im a valet. I decided to buy a manual and your video series on driving a stick has helped me a ton. Just wanted to say thanks and I'm sure those clutches thank you too, lol.
i encourage everyone to learn stick. with an auto, the car essentially drives itself. with a manual, you have to focus on what youre doing in order to drive efficiently.
Of course you can go off road with both. The low center of gravity from the boxer engine makes it so that when you go over bumps that chassis is not upset so much and provides excellent driving stability in all situations ( Cornering, Straight line speed, and off road), this also allows Subaru to put in softer suspension with more travel( this is why the WRX suspension is softer than most people expect) Also the platfrom allows for a quick change in direction during rally. Hope this helps you..
Basically means you only have enough pressure on the clutch pedal to partially engage the friction plate on the clutch, therefore he clutchplate will not grip the flywheel properly and will partially slip. If you ride the clutch continually you will burn out your clutch plate and worse case cause hot spots on your fly wheel. It's when you hold the clutch at the point where you feel it in your foot that the flywheel is biting.
Definitely agree with your points on driving stick as a 1st car. Only reason I would tell someone to drive automatic 1st would be to get experience driving a car. With an automatic you're just stepping on 1 pedal at a time & steering. With a manual tho, for a first timer learning, you're gonna have to learn how to drive but also worry about the clutch, switching gears, downshifts/up, etc...I personally wouldn't want first timer driving be next to me in a manual. I learned stick shift first btw.
I'm 15, my dad owns a 83' Porsche 911, I've learned to drive that because the cluch is CRAZY heavy. So if I can drive that, anything is possible! Only issue is if I fuck up, well it's a Porsche-lol
If it's really heavy stop and go for miles, then yeah. But a good idea when driving manual is learning alternate routes and back roads to avoid traffic in your area. And the roll back thing, once you learn your cars clutch feel its a no brainer.
I'm from the UK and learning to drive a manual or (stick shift)...I do agree it's a much better method of driving and I think over hear manual cars are much more popular than in the states
Exactly why my first car is stick, but now i also fell in love with driving manual, cant stand driving automatics anymore. Automatic just feels much more sluggish compared to manual
I know you live in a not-too-likely snow area but in many states- like here in PA- having a manual shift allows much more control in snowy or slippery situations. Downshifting, once learned properly, is still a more controllable way to slow down safely. ABS is getting better all the time but I've been in many situations where engine braking avoided disaster.
Got my first car last week, it has a manual transmission. :) It's an 06 Civic and I love it. I don't think I'll own an automatic car in at least another 20 or 30 years. Maybe I'll never own an automatic, that's how much I love stick shift. ;) And I do agree, even if you don't want to own a manual car, it's always a good thing to learn how to drive one anyways. You never know what opportunity you might get that'll require you using those skills.
I think stick shifts makes you focus more on your driving and make it so you aren't texting or calling people or anything else that would distract you from driving.
YES, I got a motorcyle licence with manual transmission and I can drive any passenger vehicle....getting a professional coach early is important; I got an ex-police officer to help me on the fine points.
My first car was a 2011 civic auto, got really boring, now I drive a 2012 Jetta TDI and my god the 6 speed is so much fun, the torque behind it and the pure control of a manual tranmission! I can't go back even if I force myself to
more to the safety point.. i think that having a manual also makes a young (easily distracted) driver pay more attention to the road because they have to be ready to upshift or down shift and learn to predict what traffic will do
i think stick shift (manual) is a better car to drive because they cause less accidents true story because your always doing something your hands arent free my mom loves the fact that i have a stick shift it makes her feel better when i drive
I got my first car (manual) in the middle of January. I looked for my car specifically, black exterior, black interior, and 5-speed manual! I waited several months after I received my drivers license to get the right car just so I could drive stick. Lets just say, i couldn't have been happier with my choice. I love driving stick!
I learned to drive on an automatic, but I recently purchased my first car (2003 mustang 5speed).. Love the manual. When driving a manual you really start to notice how bad other drivers are, though. Haha
Dude... in some countries people don't even know what an automatic car is... when you talk about "learning how to drive", it doesn't mean only "knowing the rules of the road", but how to change gears too.
I know the 02 and 03 wrx have a really stiff clutch. I test drop a 13 a few weeks ago and it was not stiff at all. It's hard to explain but having owned an 03 for the past 10 years it felt like it was broken it was so not stiff.
harbor and la palma (transients park) lmao... my girl was learning on my Evo... it hurt me when she would get it wrong but she got it eventually and because of me she ended up gettin her WRX...
I have been learning recently using my friends Si and I gotta say it's a challenge but I wish I learned how to drive stick first. I drive an automatic to school and junk and I noticed that I tend to wander off when driving and using a stick keeps me alert and always paying attention cause you don't wanna stall or break a transmission so that's why I kinda prefer like manual more now than an automatic and for sure my next car is going to be a stick for sure
i drove a passenger stick shift car before(6speed) feels great at that time, until i tried 13speed manual semi truck, that is the hardest beast to handle....
That's what I told my mom like what if i broke my hand or leg or passed out and I needed to get to a hospital he or she wouldn't know how to drive stick so its good to know even if you drive automatic.
BMW, Mazda3, ...and Honda Civic traditionally (not my hatch) ....the SSubaru Impreza also rates...I also liked the VW Golf's ...eyeing their dual clutch again
I learned how to drive in an automatic, but quickly fell in love with the manuals. I got so used to it that when I drove an automatic again, I was looking for the clutch.
I'm 15 and got a few hours practice in my dad's 5-speed '99 Legacy over winter break. By the end of it I had pretty much figured it out and I can't see myself driving automatic ever again. There's just no feel or control to an auto.
Most people who drift manuals are better drivers becuz they're always paying attention. Shifting, downshifting, not stalling the car. Manuals are good cars for beginners to have them get tht experience. Just my thought
I have been driving an automatic car for more than 5 years. I tried to learn stick shift, I gave up so easily. But i really want to learn, thanks for advise man!!
Always hold the clutch while your right foot is on brake. Then while doing so, start gear shifting into first. While holding the clutch it will make the car moved when you slowly put a gas gently. Just gently and smooth.. While at first gear start shifting to second gear smoothly if you didn't do that. The Engine will start scrumbling because it needed more power, that's why you need to shift the gear into second, same goes until 5th or 6th gear. All I'm asking is always hold your clutch while practicing in a safe environment. The reason of holding the clutch, it's because it's the source of power of your engine. Even though you might forget to shift, or at least put it on neutral. But while moving you can also do both. Practice will make it perfect.
BMWs have great stick shifts; in 50 years of driving I've had no manual transmission problems; just wore out one clutch on a VW Beetle a the end of its life....now I invest in a change to synthetic transmission oil; automatic transmission are much too expensive for me and need too much maintenance.
You're absolutely right! It's good to know how to drive a car with a manual gearbox. Really good video btw! I enjoy watching your videos and I love your car
And by the way, it only takes 1-3 hours to become comfortable with driving a stick for the first time, so that's all it would take if you wanted to learn how to drive your friend's.
I've heard that automatics change gears later so you will have more power, but that is bad for fuel economy. It also allows more controll over the car :)
Manuals are easy to drive, if you think manuals from the modern days are hard... you have to see the ones from the 60's and 70's, and the column shifters. everyone should learn to drive a manual unless your have medically unable too though then perhaps you shouldn't be on the road? a 5 year old can drive an automatic, manual actually takes some understanding and practice. great video
Or when you friend Is dd and he gets really drunk.. and you arent as drunk. then you can drive each other home. This is pretty much how I learned to drive a stick. with my friend puking on the side
Don't rev the car too high. Every car, on a flat surface can be driven without the accelerator in theory. The accelerator pedal just make it easier. This is much tougher with petrol cars that are warmed up. I'd advise trying out on a diesel or a petrol car with a cold engine - the automatic choke really helps first time drivers. I stall my car sometimes still... and I drive for a living.
I can't wait to get my first car in a year! I am hoping to get a stick shift, because I already know the concept taught from my Dad. I agree, I think it would be more beneficial in my opinion and "cooler" as well!
I actually got my first car as manual transmission. I love it. I am still learning it. I stall here and then. It hasn't been a month yet. But I love the feeling of shifting the gear and controlling the car.
Just got my first car (VW GTI) manual and At first I didn't want it because it was manual, but it was the best deal so we got it, and now after learning on it I absolutely love it!
nice video man i tottaly agree, i just dont understand why automatics are norm in the usa , yeah i know automatics are getting better in every way with modern tecnology, but manuals driving is more fun, imo
You forgot to add that a manual car is fucking fun as shit. Your having a shitty day at work... thats ok hop in the car after work hit the rev limiter and drop the clutch and do an angry burnout.
my brothers scion tc is a stick, he taught me how to drive it in a flat parking lot and i got it down pretty quick, ive known the concept for a while (i race quads) at first i was nervous and scared, but in the end of that day, i felt comfortable driving it, and i think i could help in a situation that you explained with the desert (if it happened).

yeah, its awsome having a manul car as your first, its so fun, and helps you focus, i used to not be focused with an automatic an f up a lot, but now that i have a stick shift car not any more. i lernd to drive stick ayear a go in summer and haven't been driving stick til couple weeks ago when i bought me a stick shift, all the knolege came right back to me. and also once you learn how to drive stick you never want to go back
I am 17 and just bought a 2007 sti and i was able to pick up manual in like 3 days enough to feel confident to drive anywhere, its a blast
My first car (Which is a 1990 VW Jetta) is a stick and I was upset about it at first but ive gotten used to it and I love it!
I agree, I kinda want a manual for a first car but my parents keep telling me that I shouldn't, that i won't like it, but I think I will I just have to learn how to do it
chris keiser hey man did you end up getting a Manual car?
Id like to know what happened as im in the same situation as u were right noe
chris keiser I’m in the exact same position
My dad just says your not gonna understand it but little does he know I've been watching tutorials on TH-cam and fully understand what to do just never drove a manual
same. trying to get a civic type r, but my dads just like "NaH yOu wOnt liKE it"
My first car was a wrx sti my dad cosigned on a year ago. I still love it and driving stick is a blast

I agree. Plus you learn how a car works more then just pushing one button like an auto
I bought my 2nd car, which was a VW stick shift, without knowing how to drive manual. I learned with this car, and to be honest, the risk was completely worth it.

Got a manual Saturday, I'm working my way to smooth shifts and not rolling back to much at inclines.
love the videos. just curious but what exhaust system is on the car in this vid? sounds really nice
In the UK pretty much everyone drives to learn stick. Stick is fun :)
If it's really heavy stop and go for miles, then yeah. But a good idea when driving manual is learning alternate routes and back roads to avoid traffic in your area. And the roll back thing, once you learn your cars clutch feel its a no brainer.
I had a auto as my first, then went to a manual Honda and now my Evo. Not going back to auto for a while unless it's an IS F or GT-R!
I'm from the UK and learning to drive a manual or (stick shift)...I do agree it's a much better method of driving and I think over hear manual cars are much more popular than in the states
Stick shift for the first car, sound fun. My second/current car is stick shift. I will never drive automatic again.
couldnt agree more
Exactly why my first car is stick, but now i also fell in love with driving manual, cant stand driving automatics anymore. Automatic just feels much more sluggish compared to manual
Man, that looks like a smooth ride.

to answer the question of the title. if you're driving a wrx, the answer is definitely FUCKING YES!
I own a '13 wrx both me and my dad can drive standard but i still have to teach my mom and younger brother
Got my first car last week, it has a manual transmission. :) It's an 06 Civic and I love it. I don't think I'll own an automatic car in at least another 20 or 30 years. Maybe I'll never own an automatic, that's how much I love stick shift. ;)

just got my first car. it's a stick shift. Honda Prelude. In the process of learning how to drive it!
Nice! I have a 2009 subie impreza 2.5i. I learned how to drive manual for the first time in a long time.
I think stick shifts makes you focus more on your driving and make it so you aren't texting or calling people or anything else that would distract you from driving.
All of your reasons are true. My parents are making me get a manual, in a few months, can't wait!!
YES, I got a motorcyle licence with manual transmission and I can drive any passenger vehicle....getting a professional coach early is important; I got an ex-police officer to help me on the fine points.
Depends on traffic and driving routes, if you do a lot of stop and go like rushour then it may not be the one for you.
i like that bus in the background
My first car was a 2011 civic auto, got really boring, now I drive a 2012 Jetta TDI and my god the 6 speed is so much fun, the torque behind it and the pure control of a manual tranmission! I can't go back even if I force myself to
That's so true
they're really expensive to maintain but very fun
You have the best audio and video quality, what's you setup?
I know how to drive stick, but never actually did it...lol cant wait to learn though!
more to the safety point.. i think that having a manual also makes a young (easily distracted) driver pay more attention to the road because they have to be ready to upshift or down shift and learn to predict what traffic will do
just bought myself a manual toyota corolla , loving it !
i think stick shift (manual) is a better car to drive because they cause less accidents true story because your always doing something your hands arent free my mom loves the fact that i have a stick shift it makes her feel better when i drive
use the ebrake over time you learn to blip the throttle and release the clutch perfectly
I got my first car (manual) in the middle of January. I looked for my car specifically, black exterior, black interior, and 5-speed manual! I waited several months after I received my drivers license to get the right car just so I could drive stick. Lets just say, i couldn't have been happier with my choice. I love driving stick!

my main thing with stick shift is you have a much bigger choice of vehicles
Stick all the wayy!!
I learned how to drive on my Uncle's 2011 WRX lol. I have never owned an automatic other than my mom's SUV
manual transmissions make you focus more on what your doing since you have to operate the machine
That's what I told my mom like what if i broke my hand or leg or passed out and I needed to get to a hospital he or she wouldn't know how to drive stick so its good to know even if you drive automatic.
i want to have a manual forester as my first car. true dream car is a wry though.
I am only 12 and already know how to drive a stick. I know for sure that i am getting one. :)
BMW, Mazda3, ...and Honda Civic traditionally (not my hatch) ....the SSubaru Impreza also rates...I also liked the VW Golf's ...eyeing their dual clutch again
Good car, I am getting the 1999 model.
I learned how to drive in an automatic, but quickly fell in love with the manuals. I got so used to it that when I drove an automatic again, I was looking for the clutch.

James LaRue I think you meant drive
Just got my first car yesterday, its an 06 civic coupe stick shift. I dont ever want to drive an auto again, manual is that much fun
Do not forget reliability, weight, fun, skill. Stick involves all that shit too
I have been driving an automatic car for more than 5 years. I tried to learn stick shift, I gave up so easily. But i really want to learn, thanks for advise man!!

I’m getting a manual Chevy cobalt as a first car this week
exactly!
My first car was and still is a 2015 WRX.👌
i i am learning on my bros subaru wrx can't wait and i love the sound of ur car
BMWs have great stick shifts; in 50 years of driving I've had no manual transmission problems; just wore out one clutch on a VW Beetle a the end of its life....now I invest in a change to synthetic transmission oil; automatic transmission are much too expensive for me and need too much maintenance.

Forgot to mention how Manual transmission cars usually run cheaper than Automatics.
And by the way, it only takes 1-3 hours to become comfortable with driving a stick for the first time, so that's all it would take if you wanted to learn how to drive your friend's.
I've heard that automatics change gears later so you will have more power, but that is bad for fuel economy. It also allows more controll over the car :)
lol no they change earlier.. If you chip them they might shift later..
Depends how much you push the gas. If you drive normal, it will shift at lower rpm's.
and depends on mode. like on a civic, if you put D3, it shifts at higher rpm's.
^well yes, if you floor a car it raises much further but I'm talking about the kinda driving you did when you had your drivers permit XD
Just got my first car 2 Weeks ago
Rsx type s 6 speed manual
Never driving auto again thnkx
Manuals are easy to drive, if you think manuals from the modern days are hard... you have to see the ones from the 60's and 70's, and the column shifters.
everyone should learn to drive a manual unless your have medically unable too though then perhaps you shouldn't be on the road?
a 5 year old can drive an automatic, manual actually takes some understanding and practice.
great video
Thanks! =]
I learned on a old 85 jeep renegade. That thing was picky. So now when i drive these newer cars i over do the clutch.
Definitely a great skill to have. I learned about 5 years after I got my drivers license.
Or when you friend Is dd and he gets really drunk.. and you arent as drunk. then you can drive each other home.
This is pretty much how I learned to drive a stick. with my friend puking on the side
i’m taking my license test at the end of the month and my dad knows how to drive stick so i’m debating buying one
Think I’m gonna buy a manual as my second car!
You should just go straight to a Manuel it’s not really hard I learned when I was nine
Nathen I the only problem is that there are a lot of hills where I live, it’d extremely inconvenient. I got a DCT tho
Saidodachi 007 oh ok nice
NIce videos, very helpful! Thanks!
Don't rev the car too high. Every car, on a flat surface can be driven without the accelerator in theory. The accelerator pedal just make it easier.

For me Manual is the best been driving manual from age 8......
Thank you! Yep already on my list. I'll probably do it in Asian style
There's only two type's of people in this world. Those they can drive stick,and those that ride it.
Cool
my first car is a manual and still driving it!
I can't wait to get my first car in a year! I am hoping to get a stick shift, because I already know the concept taught from my Dad. I agree, I think it would be more beneficial in my opinion and "cooler" as well!
