I used to teach people to shift at a dealership, lots of different people. The Boxster would be a more difficult car to teach someone on than say a VW. For starters the clutch is very grabby, can be an handful in a parallel park situation and will likely produce many a stall for the beginner. Furthermore, a missed shift and other unavoidable learning curve experiences are going to at the very least, beat your machine's transmission up in a myriad of ways. If it were my kid, I'd find a craigslist fixerupper Sbox, that could be resold as a winter rat and let it rip, might be cheaper in the long run and hey if you get stuck with it you can use it to learn speed shifting.
