I hate using analog sticks on consoles for car games, it just seems stupid 
to map 1000 degrees of steering wheel turn onto 90 degrees of a tiny stick. 
In most cases I even prefer using digital buttons, as at least behind them 
is some algorithm to progressively steer based on the digital input.

IME in such games the introductory level is to make sure you avoid exactly 
what Darren mentioned.  It forces you to have at least have basic car 
control skills before attempting the main part of the game.

I don't know about Driv3r, but on the original Driver you started in a 
garage basement and had to do so many stunts within a time limit before you 
could progress.  It really is worth spending the time learning how to do 
those moves because it will make the rest of the game far more enjoyable.
