No problems driving this stick. My job requires me to drive at slow speeds around properties, about 5-15mph. With my Nissan p/u, there was always lots of clutch play to keep it at that speed without stalling. To my amazement, the TDI will idle in 2nd right at 10mph without any throttle or clutch down OR up hills. It really was nice. On flat surfaces even I would be able to ease the clutch out without any throttle and get going. I say this because it makes it *really* easy to drive in heavy traffic. If you stall it, you're trying awful hard to stall it.
