I did not know our cars had this feature - I guess I need to teach my daughter how to drive stick using the M2 instead of the wife's Mini Cooper (or the 1M). |
If you could buy a self balancing bicycle for your child to learn to ride a bike on... would you ?
Does one start a child to ride horseback without first teaching how to climb into the saddle ?
I think your daughter is much better off learning on an ACTUAL manual car like the Mini Cooper or the 1M. ( the 1M *does* have hill holder , so if the Mini doesn't .. then the Mini is the best " school car " in your household)
That way she actually learns what a clutch friction point is, and how to modulate a clutch.
Learning to drive on an M2 with all the nannies isn't learning much other than to move a shift lever. God forbid she learns to drive a manual like the M2 and gets in a 5MT or 6MT Honda or Miata one day and wonders why it "won't go" off the line ... and the synchros are making noises
