No, what scares her is the torque which keeps the car going at low speeds in idle. In the Yaris she learned to drive, trying to idle in any gear above 1st would make the engine die. She can't get used to the car still pulling in 2nd, going much faster than she planned. Now she doesn't even drive it, which doesn't help getting used to it
