My cousin has a honda civic im gonna buy and shes taught me how to drive it yesterday and today afternoon. i stall occasioanlly and we went to a parking lot where there was a hill to practice starting on. like outbof the ten times i tried 6 i accidently let tire marks or the car quit. the other times i might roll back and two times i was able to do it a little bit but i really cant start on a hill
am i pathetic? id be nervous having to start on a hill out driving but i got to drive it on the road back to the house and didnt make it stall.
how bad is it that im best driving automatics? do most people know how to start on a hill? am i pathetic? thank you

Just keep practicing, learn the biting point of the clutch. Try to keep rpms at around 2-3k when moving from a stop, for hills just use more rpm. Try not to worry about rolling back or stalling, shit happens.

If you are actually worried about hitting the car behind you, remember you can pull the handbrake two or three clicks while you take off then release it when you start moving.

It sounds like you need to find that sweet, middle spot on the clutch.

What's the worst that can happen if you hit the car behind you? They get out of their car and kill you? I agree that would be bad.
>>
you can roll back a bit, it's not a big deal

Everyone struggles with a manual at first. The key is to find a perfect balance of phasing out the clutch as you push in the gas. I recommend starting to let out the clutch before you put on the gas.

>2-3k rpm
I barely get above 1k by the time my clutch is fully engaged

I probably wouldn't start with hill starts first. Just go around in circles on some flat land doing starts and stops. It will become muscle memory eventually.

Watch this vid OP:
>>17233798
Ideally you need 1.5-2 rpm for regular starts, 2-2.5 for hill. But instead of trying to hold the gas at a constant 1.5 rpm you can tap the throttle like in the vid to keep it in the sweet spot range

Am I doing something wrong keeping my rpm between 1k-1300 I never stall or chug the engine and it seems much better for the clutch than revving higher to start. I also start in 2nd gear somewhat often or if im at a 2mph roll
