I just bought an '01 5-speed Insight on e-Bay, and I have to fly down to Anaheim this week to pick it up. Problem is, I've never driven stick before. Is the Insight an easy car to learn on? It seems like the Auto-Stop function would make stalling impossible...am I right? Are there any other quirks and foibles I should know about manual Insights?

Much appreciated,

Hey,
Well I can attest to the fact that you can certainly stall the Insight. I'm still kind of a novice manual tranny driver myself, I still stall the thing from time to time... By the way, how exactly do you grind your gears?
