Personally I couldn't imagine getting my teenage son into the Boxster. First, none of the kids today have any idea how to use a clutch. Sounds to me like he is riding the clutch and this can't be good for the clutch or transmission. I'm sure the clutch is pretty robust, but I suggest finding a friends Honda or Toyota to practice on (if one with a stick exists). My son drives my Ford station wagon only.
