It's (apparently) something else. Everybody else has same problem. It
generally catches only after the third attempt, sometimes after two
attempts.The service department of the dealer can't solve it though
making various repairs.( It's not under warranty/contract.)

But you're right. I "started" on the 1950s cars.

I recall the circa two-tone 1950 little Metropolitan with a floor
starter, b-t-w., and vaguely others  of the late 1940s/early 1950s
vintage.

They sometimes would start by coasting-down hill in second gear,
getting up to...5-10 mph in order to function..

I suppose that's still done though haven't driven a straight-shift in
years to findout.
