Ok, I really hate to admit this, and just thought it would take a couple days to get the hang of the new car, but....
I've got 800 miles on my car now, and I've literally stalled it from a dead stop more times than I have EVER stalled any of my previous 6 manual transmission cars combined. It is driving me nuts. I know I got spoiled with my last car (HHR), I couldn't stall that car unless I kept my foot on the brake and dumped the clutch, but I've driven finicky clutches before, mainly my father's '10 Camaro SS. That car took some getting used to, but I never stalled it out that I can remember.
I have no problem getting through the gears once I get started, but I have to be super conscious when starting off. Am I the only one in this boat? I know it's not my car, the one I test drove at the dealership was the same way.
Any advice?
