Manuals are easy! It’s the clutch use that separate the good drivers from the new drivers.
And i actually think higher bhp cars are easier to use. Especially to go from a stand-still to moving.
Still though, you wouldn’t be doing the car much justice if you couldn’t drive stick all that well.
What year was yours? Most hyundais pre 2001 were pretty shady cars. This elantra is my second car and runs really well.
