Probably teaching grandma but most cars you accelerate and pull out at the same time. Do that harshly in a Tuscan even at 70+mph with a damp road or cold tyres and you can *easily* spin the wheels and spin off. Pull out and accelerate in a straight line. I've felt this and just don't want you to get hurt



I am also going to need to be careful when dropping a gear to overtake. I know of a couple of Tuscan owners who early in their ownership spun on quiet dual carriage ways doing this. They were caught out by the lack of a big flywheel and so unexpected amounts of engine braking when lifting the clutch after dropping down a gear.

I'm used to a fairly light flywheel on the Impreza, but at least there all four wheels get the same level of engine braking when you lift the clutch.

Also don't ever forget there's no ABS - if you've been used to it you react differently.



Helpfully I am used to that from the MX5. Had to control a 60mph slide under braking the other day when I cam round a corner to find some idiot attempting a suicidal overtaking manuouver coming the other direction.

Should be fun...
