Hirap talaga pag incline. Lalo na kung sa mga mall ka mabibitin. But then again, sanayan lang iyan. ;)

Vios lang ba bro or pati mga new Toyota vehicles? pero yung na-drive kong Revo before kasi wala namang apak sa clutch, volunteer pa ako tapos di ko maistart wahahaha, buti nalang sanay naman ako sa M/T.

IMO, the easiest way to escape this situation is the "Handbreak" technique. Mas madali to especially sa mga girls

yup, handbreak technique is the best option kung M/T ka.

sa pagtimpla ng clutch and gas pedals true, ayun lang naman ang pahirap sa M/T.

Ako dati nung natutuo magdrive corolla dx gamit ko. Manual and hindi power steering. Kaya sisiw sa akin yung shangrila parking.

Ngayon kasi mga nag-aaral magdrive bine-baby. Kaya pag natuto baby din magdrive. Kapatid ko kalalake tao hirap sa manual. Paano kung may emergency situation eh di wala na.

kaya bilib ako sa mga marurunong mag hanging. hehehe.

personally, mas madali sya with diesels

Kahit ano pang makina, transmission at fuel yan, dapat alam mong timplahin.

Heto pa gasolina para sa flame-bait:

M/T's are for those who cannot afford their ride's A/T variant/s. :evillaugh

Talagang mas madali mag hanging sa manual na diesel, because of the low end torque. Hindi katulad ng gas-fed mas mataas na rev kelangan.

Anyone tried hanging upper level parking ng Robinson Ermita? Hand brakes are useless there, well thats if mabigat auto mo...

and me trapik sa taas dahil me nag baba ng tamad mag lakad na passenger nila, at walang consideration sa mga naka hanging sa spiral way...

Pano naman yung mga models na walang M/T variants like Mazda 3's?

Eh yung Ford Focus yung manual variant (TDCi turbo diesel, 6-speed M/t) nila ang pinakamahal diba?

Not advisable. Ginawa ko dati yan. Ang baho....nasunog clutch ko.

+ 1 ako dito. We owned an a/t before. traded it up for a m/t. reason... Fun! to think invecsII yung a/t, ok din naman. yun nga lang, hinahanap kasi ng left foot ko yung clutch.
