I am learning on my new 2015 Sti that I just picked up yesterday and traded in my auto frs. Never touched a clutch before in my life. I'm scared to also stall it at red lights, but I haven't stalled at any stop signs. Trust me, give it 3 weeks and you will be good to go. Starting is the hardest part. I purposely stopped on a hill today to try it out. Yea, that wasn't fun. Just be patient and don't get discouraged! Everyone who started learning a standard was in the same position.

I tried driving standard once with a co worker's civic. LOL i over revved and gave it a slight chirp but it was pretty intimidating when there was cars around you. I keep hearing the frs has a really good transmission and clutch so I still think about it and plan to purchase it as stick.

Also for hill starts I usually let off the clutch to where I know it'll catch if I let it off a little bit so yeah once the light turns green I let off the brake and keep my foot at that same clutch position and give it gas and go lol
I'm also glad to know that I'm not the only one learning how to drive a stick haha because I'm pretty bad haha I hate first gear lol but yeah I feel like a terrible driver too lol after I get first gear I notice like how slow I am to get going I don't know if its me being slow or if its the car but I usually shift at like 2.5-3 RPM from 1st to 2nd

I think it's that fear of over doing it xD I have that fear when I drove a co worker's stick. I didn't want to over do it and in turn made it all slow instead.
