Back in the day I learnt how to drive a stick shift car (in the UK) but now I'm in the US and I've gotten lazy and drive an automatic. I'm really interested in buying a classic mini - how difficult are they to drive stick?
Please take into consideration that I live in LA and the traffic is HORRENDOUS!!! I really don't want one calf muscle bigger than the other! :)
Thanks.

None, you just remember that when choosing a stick shift, you better be good on take off and good at down shifting...I would recommend a stick in lots of traffic..most people tend to hold the clutch in when sitting at idle...and that is not good..when you can shift a car thru the gears and not use the clutch...your gooooood..

I'm 6' exactly and I've owned and driven many classic Minis, so the answer is yes. My Minis had both standard and bucket seats fitted, no problem. You may also fit a simple bracket to the seats (commonly available from specialists, and not expensive) which moves the front seats back a little, to allow more front leg room.

I have been driving stick for EVER and no I do not have one calf muscle larger than the other. Once you have learned how to drive standard,"you never forget".
