Esp those manual cars without power steering and very stiff clutch pedal. 🙂

No power steering and stiff clutch pedal? Reminds me of those SAF land rover.

That's what everyone says until they own one for a daily

Alot of ppl miss driving manual like me.

The ideal is having a manual to drive once in a while when i feel like it or going night driving

Then having an auto when i had to deal jam every morning n evening.

😅

Also reminds me of their Mitsubishi Lancer wagon. No power steering, heavy clutch and manual operating windows and side mirrors.

If no traffic jam everyday, i still ok to drive a manual daily. Lol.

Manual best for traffic jams. Need to learn how to control. Release clutch gradually and smoothly, right leg lightly on gas pedal, and your car will crawl very very smooth one....

So far, all my cars have been stick shift, next one will have to be an automatic liao.

climbing up any slope using manual is not issue.

the problem is jam and struck on a slope and  u come to a total stop.

then u need keep moving off from a parking position using manual on a slope, 😁

In my old manual, used to just throw clutch and stay at biting point or go, depending on the changing situation in front. I dunno why I no confidence with my current manual, steep slopes prefer to guai guai use hand brake. Maybe I can feel the heavier weight and settings different. But I think use handbrake better for the clutch or transmission lah. 

And huh automatic cars can afford to tail very close, I dun dare 😅

this 1 need alot of skill😁 and your clutch must be in  very good condition (soft), or your left knee gg.

if i drive manual lorry like dyna now, i avoid going up long slope in mscp. just wait at btm lol.

I once stopped at the slope of civic centre.  Motorcycle stopped right behind me. Literally.  Moving off I was like 😱

Cos while I was confident not to roll back, I am not that confident on a steep slope with a motor cycle just at my back with almost no space in between..

Imagine just a bit of roll back before u move forward, the motorcyclist may be thinking "jid bai hong gan liao", or he no feel.
