[quote=Doolab;103468]Here's a seldom mentioned tidbit that is cruelly hidden from most new drivers learning to drive stickshifts:

It's actually easier to learn on a bigger engined vehicle with plenty of torque than to learn on a wheezing little econobox...

Why?

Because you are a lot less likely to stall a car with an engine that makes decent torque down low especially when trying to drive off the line with normal traffic, than trying to get the launch down just right with a car that has a gutless torque-less engine.

why would you learn to drive something easy?....learn to drive a manual thats tough so when you get in a car that has more torque its much easier
