I learned a couple months ago in my dads 1987 jeep cherokee... well we were driving down the train tracks home and i asked if i could learn to drive it... we started on an uphill so i rolled down until the car was in a balenced place and i notice u cant let the clutch out 2 quick without given it gas so i stalled like 5 times then i figured it out and my dad kept makin me stop and try again its really not that hard! now i move the truck whenever he need it move and most the time i start on a hill kinna tricky. but his truck dont have the power for a good spin! now its a breeze:o

i learned/learning on my truck ( its actually my dads but we all call it mine cuz when i get my liscence its officially mine ) And im pretty damn good. I have only stalled like 5 times in a year. My moms 4runner I HATE i hate the feel of the auto. i mean its great for stop and go but i cant stand it on the highway ... im only 15 and havent DRIVEN on the highway.. but when she drives it takes what seems like forever to shift. i love standards ..so much control. you can shift when you want not when the car wants. I cant wait till i get my liscence!!!!!!

I learned in my '88 Accord which was a great car to begin with. The clutch was very forgiving.

1971 Ford Pinto in Washington DC. I liked it so much, I bought one just like it when I was 18. I've had manuals until I bought my 1992 Subaru SVX. No manual. Now my Acura CL doesn't have it either. I am thinking of the VW GTI as my next car with a manual. It will be weird driving one after all these years.

You don't learn to drive on a manual's ? How do you get your driving license ? on an automatic ?
Personnaly, I ever drive on manuals (I learned on a Peugeot 206 at "auto school"). Then I drove only one automatic... in the USA (an Honda Accord) and I hated it. You can't controll well your car with an auto (braking with motor/gears, go up in the rpm, etc.). It's only a good think in traffic jam.

Nothing like a manual box for a bit of spirited driving. No auto, no steptronic.
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE |

Well, i think i started this thread, and it'll be a year i'll have had my car, a manual.
I've figured out a few things. 1 is that there is only one way to learn, go out and do! The second is that trucks are SOOO much more forgiving than my car (firebird formula, 6 speed). I drive any car that is a manual any chance i get, but with trucks i never even have to think about getting used to the clutch. Oh well...
