Default Is the A4 in stick easy to drive for a beginner?

My order is almost here. Well, heres the deal I have driven my friends car 2 times both times on flat land, and I did good. I understand how the clutch catches and all. I have never driven up a hill or anything like that. I am just wondering if its an easy car to learn on. I have heard many people say that Hondas are easy to learn on, how are Audi's? Anyway I am going to an auto school to learn how to drive stick. Im taking 2 classes, each clas is 55 minutes long. Will I need more classes? Any comments tips are appreciated. thanks

Default You shouldn't have a problem, 1 to 2 is kinda touchy though...

once you get past them, its all good in the neighborhood...

Default The more torque you have at low RPMs and the smoother the clutch, the easier it is.

I would often teach people on a 2.0 Jetta while waiting to pick up their car.

Default I learned on my A4. Took me about week get good at it>>

Hondas are easy. I drove my friend's accord and it was so much easier. But once you get used to the A4 clutch it's no problem. It's different for every car for beginner. I had for like 3 months now. now problem. Let put it this way I was driving my friends S 2000 with in 2 weeks. I have to say this you'll love it.
