I heard anyone driving a Honda Civic, especially a woman, requires driving classes by default.

If your solid motor mounts make it that much harder, she’ll be much more proficient for having learned on that vehicle. Let’s be honest, you just don’t want her to beat up your car, you’d rather she beat up someone else’s.

Post pics of her, and maybe you’ll get some offers.

I tend to agree…the harder the car to drive they better…she’ll learn there and all the other manuals she drive will be a piece of cake.

i agree as well, the car i taught my girlfriend in is my mustang, with 373’s its a little trickier to learn on (by no means am i saying its a difficult car to drive) but now when we go out and she drives us home from the bar in any friends manuel, she says its as easy as driving an automatic compared to my car (which is her DD right now)

My wife learned on my sho. She got in in about 5 tries. stalled twice, burned a 20ft patch of tire, stalled twice more, then started going good.

She drove my truck once and was amazed at how easy it is. put it in 2nd gear and let the clutch out, no need to hit the gas or anything unless you’re on a very steep hill, then you use first and still never hit the gas. driving a car with torque\>car with no torque.

let your girl beat on your peon for a few minutes and deal with it. It’s not like she is going to blow it up or anything.
