I didn't say there aren't situations where it's needed, but I've never been in that situation. Most of the time for most people, though, it isn't needed.

I've never had a problem with it, since I learned to drive stick. It was a little tough in my XR4Ti, but that's the only car I've ever had a problem with it.
