I know how to drive a little bit driving it for a few hours today with my buddy, I still stall from starting the car off in 1st gear and starting off at a red light 
Do you regret getting manual or does it just come as second nature once you get used to it without even giving it a thought while driving? I am making a decision on manual and automatic vehicle soon and don;t want to make the wrong choice! Thanks |
About a week to get it all down and not stall. Driving manual becomes second nature and it shouldn't be tedious, lazy or draining.
Why you looking at the rpm? I also think you shouldn't worry about downshifting, rev matching, heel-toe just yet. Learn the basics and when youre more comfortable with driving manual then learn the above, it's not much to learn anyways
I can say manual isn't for everbody, some people just dont like it even after learning and owning a manual.
