Oh, starting on a hill is absolute shit if you're not good wth a clutch.

The hardest I ever drove was a '72 VW Super Beetle and it would roll backwards the millisecond I took my foot off the brake.. You couldn't slip the clutch and have it grab fast enough. Did learn how to heel-toe the clutch and brake on that and the last year I had it, got so good with shifting by ear, I seldom used the clutch once the car was rolling. That was cool. Could downshift w/o the clutch as well. It was a 4-speed so it had a wider wheel speed/motor speed range to play with in each gear.

Was almost as good with the no-clutch shifting on my '82 Celica (I really, really loved that car.. rear wheel drive so it was drift city before I even knew that was a thing... and you BET I did.. Sport Rally 5 transmission for the WIN!)

Now I'm on my third Impreza and they have such grabby clutches, tight transmissions and small shift windows for no-clutch, that I've never really made inroads with it.

I still drive like a maniac however.
