Teaching stick in a boxster?

[BYprodriver]

I have driven dozens of manual trans vehicles & consider a Box 1 of the hardest. Clutches are not cheap either!

It's not. If you have a knack for it (like my niece) no problem, flawless, but my daughter? Thought the engine was going to get jerked out onto the ground behind the car.

With my Grandson (18), I let him drive my E36 first.....or attempt to...total failure and the E36 is the easiest stick to drive I have ever seen...no way he is touching my Boxster

Just go buy a thousand dollar disposable economy car to teach her in. You wouldn't hand a beginner musician a Stradivarius, right?

Nothing is too good for her, yeah, the box isn't even a close second. In fact, not even a consideration.

I have no issues with the boxster's clutch, I've driven heavier. I still stall a couple times a year.
You may learn best on a Boxster, not the easiest but the cost may be very high
Tried to teach my son. That didn't go well and he could tell it was hard on the car. Stalling these things makes the hairs on my neck stand up. It sound so painful and damaging
Good luck finding a rental company in the US that even rents manuals. They are on to people learning in them
There are driving schools that specialize in it so that may be another othing
