How come if learn using Kicks, next time when drive a sedan would have issues in parking le? Thought if you have got used in driving a bigger car and then go drive a smaller car, it would be much easier?

When you look out of the back window of hatchback, what you see is pretty much in line with the back of the car. For sedan there is still the boot sticking out which need to account for. Something like that imo.

I see, so now they change back using city again. Remember they are using city last time, then change to jazz.

True, i remember when i got used in driving a hatchback, then when drive a sedan, not used to it during parking, esp in tight parking due to the boot area and more blind spot as compared to a hatchback. Lol.

Is this car too big to be a learner car, saw them hit kerb during narrow courses...dunno why they buy this type of car. 

The footprint is about size of Toyota Vios or Honda City or so should be passable as a learning car.

That's not true.

I removed the brake pads AND made the throttle stuck to only wide open.

Help my MIL arrive faster.

Why is this even consider big.. a quick check and only almost 4.3m

Dimensions (L x W x H)(4290 x 1760 x 1615) mm

A Honda City is even bigger.

Dimensions (L x W x H)(4553 x 1748 x 1467

 

With the Kick sitting higher it is actually easier to drive for learner as it has better view out.

alot of ppl even if they learn manual now

but drive auto for 10 year. suddenly u give them a manual, they dun dare to drive already 😅

I dare to drive. I just don't know if will die car or not after stopping at the traffic junction. 😂

I think all of us old timers should be able to get back the feel quite easily within 5 to 10 min of city driving.

this may be a better learner's car b because it provides  better visibility all round due to its height.

Every manual car the clutch biting point would feel difference, so need a bit of time to get the feel, but guess quite fast should be ok liao. Not say difficult to drive a manual car lo.

This is why no new Fits

I have an idea! 

With more rich people driving luxury cars in Singapore, when their kids start to learn driving, they will want the best for their kids naturally. @Jamesc want to join me start a driving school using Audi A3 / Q3, BMW 1 series / X1, Mercedes A Class / GLA?

Just need to charge a higher rate of say $120 per session of 100 mins, bao tan one, and can drive Audi / BMW / Mercedes after work some more, better than PHV tio bo?
