Assuming that you have a drivers license and can legally operate a vehicle alone, you have no problem operating an automatic transmission alone, then take out the variables that add more stress and nervousness to the equation. That would be people in the car and heavy traffic areas. Performance and...

It sounds like you're doing just fine. It just takes time and practice. Is it possible to find someone else to 'co-pilot' while you're still learning? No offense intended, because I obviously don't know either of you, but It seems to me that some of your anxiety is because of your mother's criticis...

Just an update: Today I drove to my local mall which is about 16 minutes away with no traffic and not going the freeway route, then I drove to Jamba Juice on the way home. I stalled a few times when going into the mall parking lot which got me VERY frustrated. Then when I was going to Jamba Juice, I...

1. Don’t worry stalling the car in front of other people. It happens. They’ll deal with it. Maybe make a sign that says you may stall out because you're learning stick for the rear window. I'd like for my next car to be a manual 2014 Mazda3 or Veloster, but have never driven stick. I feel confi...

Thank you all for the advice. Since next weekend is a 4 day weekend (5 for me), I'll have more time to drive over the weekend since I'm going home on Friday. We'll see how I do then, hopefully better since I really need the car. I'll give you all a follow up! Thanks again guys!!!

So I've been trying to learn how to drive a stick shift for a while now. I was doing fine until my mother had me take driving lessons with a guy who was a "professional"; even though I told her I didn't need it. Basically he told me to get the RPMs to a specific point around a parking lot....

If only my mom would see the Vibe lol. I'd consider selling to you, you're in my price range!

Woo SoCal Pontiac Vibe user!

I drove it around the neighborhood lol.. learning how to drive a stick shift

Well, your mileage is very low for a 2004, so on cars.com, it would stick out very well. I had to go to page two just to begin to find some cars in that mileage category. Although manual cars bring in significantly less money these days, it appears your car would be posted for somewhere between $60...

Just wondering. How much would a 04 White MAN Pontiac Vibe with 80K miles sale for? New battery, etc. I'm thinking of selling it if I can't get the hang of a stick shift, thought I would love to keep it!

Hello, New to the board but I've been surfing around here for a while. My mom's giving me her 2004 Pontiac Vibe and I want to get an in-dash navigation system with ipod/iphone functionality. Can you guys suggest some good ones for the Vibe? I don't want to spend too much but I don't want it to look ...
