2010 Denim Kia Soul Special Edition Part 5

Dropping the clutch saves it? I disagree. Dropping it is worse than loading the engine properly as you did in the video. Smooth is good!

Okay, I want to know what the Trip-meter... and Odomoter display.... does it show miles to empty?.... And also how much did you put down on your Soul?

[MightierToaster]

@aaidenkardashian

You can have up to 2 trips going at once, Trip A and Trip B, they go simultaneously. And there is no Miles to Empty on the 2010, I put over $10K down at the time of purchase.

Someone said that they ride the clutch, and just so they know, that's unsafe and illegal.

I drive a stick very differently, I ride the clutch, I start the vehicle in gear with my foot completely on the clutch than I put it in the desired gear, when I come to a stop I step on the clutch completely then the brake then shift to either 1st or second gear ( if it looks like I will be able to go without stopping I shift to 2nd if it looks like I will have to come to a complete stop then I put it in 1st ). Going up hill I step on the clutch and gas at the same time ( more gas than clutch ).

[Pedalfan]

Do you find it easier to drive manual without flip flops?

[MightierToaster]

@Pedalfan

No, I wear size 13 so they are too clumsy. I'd rather do barefoot.

[SnakeSafety101]

@MightierToaster

I am the same, size 14 I do barefoot unless I have tight converses on.

I cant decide which special edition is the best. !!

The reason why it jerks when you downshift is because the transmission and engine speed is different, its normal though, all it means is you downshifted at the wrong speed. Rule of thumb for driving manual transmission is remember, its the brakes job to slow the car down not the transmission or the engine. You will expand the life of your clutch and tranny if you do less downshifting :D

[MightierToaster]

@CHASE06051990

I figured as much. Also I usually 90% of the time use neutral to slow down. We have the same mindset. Brakes are cheaper to replace then a clutch.

[CHASE06051990]

@MightierToaster

Yes indeed.

[biglinc1]

@MightierToaster downshifting won't actually damage the vehicle...but you can see with large trucks that they downshift on long grades to avoid overuse of brakes... This is where they use the engine to brake the vehicle as opposed to riding the brakes... the higher the gear, the faster the car will roll downhill, so dropping into a lower gear will slow your car on winding and steep hills - thus saving brakes, and its not going to burn out a clutch... Riding the clutch burns those out

A friend's son who is 40 finally had to learn to drive a stick shift because his uncle gave him the '47 Packard 7-passenger that had been in the family for 40 years! I remember him riding in it as a baby in his playpen set up over the jump seats between the front and back seats!

[biglinc1]

nice car was looking at your other videos.... First I didn't think much of the soul but the more I see of them the more I'm beginning to like them... btw I see someone else who doesn't wear shoes when they drive... haha

[edison9971]

try not to put it into neutral before turning..put it into 2nd gear (or third if its a wide turn) because if you need to press the gas inmediatly in case of an emergency you need to be in gear to accelerate

[MightierToaster]

@edison9971

Out on a public road I downshift, but since this was in my quiet neighbor hood I didn't feel the need.
