    Add that to some older cars, particularly those small French ones that tend to have clutches that don't have a great feel and work like a switch and things soon start turning ugly.

    It might sound like a fairly small thing, but it's surprising how things like this can throw a new driver.







    Our nearly new Kia Picanto had a clutch like a switch, even experienced drivers struggled.
    So it had to go and we got an older Seat Mii instead.
    TBH the only thing the Kia offered that was superior to the Seat was age, the Mii was just miles better in every other way, so the awkward Kia clutch did us a favour really.
