i had to have a friend come with me to the dealership to drive the car back to my house because i didn't know how to drive a manaul, but thank god it only took about 10 minutes. now 4 days later and 200 miles driven and almost 3/4ths of my tank empty i have most of my driving kinks worked out, and yes it is really easy to stall because the car is way too quiet. ive stalled so many times its insane, but once you get a better feel for your car you'll manage. good luck
