QUICK FACTS ABOUT DAN
Even though I've been driving a manual transmission daily since 2005, I still remember what it was like to learn. It seemed overwhelming at first, I was nervous, and I wasn't sure if I would be able to do it. But, soon it became second nature. I believe that with good instruction and practice, anyone can learn to drive a manual.

DAN'S NOTES
AUTO INSURANCE INCLUDED
SHIFTR provides automobile insurance for this Subaru Crosstrek. This means that your lesson is fully insured to provide a safe learning environment.
The Subaru Crosstrek is a great car to learn on. The vehicle has good visibility and is a comfortable size. The clutch is more forgiving than a racing clutch without being too soft, so you get reliable operation and still have the feel of manual operation. The shift pattern is straightforward and easy to learn.

I love my Elantra Sport because it's the perfect daily car. It has 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, so it has some pep when needed. Also, the clutch has a very neutral pickup point, which makes for easy learning.
