Throttle delay is very bad, this manual car is the trickiest I every drive, taught myself driving manual 5sp, 96 Honda Civic, then I bought 05 mustang gt with a S/C , now 01 Hyundai tibron . I stall on iM so easy it’s piss me off. It’s the way when you release the clutch and how the gas pedal feels and giving power. Let me explain:
When you drive a Manuel, you release the clutch until you feel the clutch completely grabs the flat wheel, then you give a little gas then you go. But with iM , it piss me off how it drives. What is it, weak power or the design. So when I drive , I release the clutch. The rpm drop to 300rpm to fully engage, that’s about to stall,plus you have to releas the clutch super slow then once you step gas pedal the car shakes because low rpm engagement , in real life you can not do that, too slow,3 cars with pass you in other lane before you start. then I give some gas, but delay throttle will stall the car because by the time you give the gas , it will stall most of time, but if you give it tiny more gas it suddenly revs to 2krpm so you feel jerking too much when you drive like that. Basically I think the clutch in iM is useless, low rpm/weak power + delay throttle makes this car hard to drive. The only way is drive it like you are in hurry, it will creat some jerking feel because you have to “burning” clutch for 1/2 second while stepping the gas pedal. Shifting too slow will creating too much jerking/engine braking effect because delay throttle,so you have step on the gas a little more. But driving my mustang and tibron I can shift and drive like an automatic car, sometimes you can’t even tell it's manual, so easy to shift and the gas pedal feel instant. Other than that the riding position is too high, when you get out look at the floor panel, your car fram as you open the door, looks like there are many layers. And you can’t lower the driver seat. You can only tilt back,somewhat “lower” but the front is still fixed. I bet if it has 2L engine it will drive better.
