Been abroad for a while recently and hired a car
Other than the (Irritating) engine stop/ start mechanism at traffic lights etc, the car wouldnt actually start when you got in it, without depressing the clutch and turning the ignition
Years ago a colleague told me you were supposed to depress the clutch when starting vehicles in this country, but I never have
My vehicle prior to the DS3- Ford Focus 1.6- had 97,000 miles in 8 years and it didnt seem to suffer from not depressing the clutch
Do people depress the clutch to start- and if so what are the (perceived) benefits?
Should we all do it, whatever fuel, engine, or what?
