In the US you have people who obviously have no idea of driving a manual car learning how to 'down shift' by watching a YouTube clip. ��
Me thinks an auto for the OP may have been a better option.

I actually know someone that has been driving stick shift for over a dozen years and still cannot rev match or heel and toe downshift.
When he got his first stick shift car (a Miata out of all cars), he spent two months trying to learn it himself (YouTube wasn't invented yet) to the point his neighbor got so annoyed and just decided to ring his door one day and said "let me teach you how to drive stick".
But I haven't got the guts yet to say "dude let me teach you how to downshift". Maybe I should recommend him an automatic.
