I taught my son to drive a manual transmission, but chose to have him learn on lesser cars, than the Box S. First we went out out in an older 3 series BMW...very easy to work mechanicals. Next we borrowed my nephews VW Golf; again very easy to drive. We finally went out in the Box S and he had a very difficult time, constantly stalling. I think he lost interest thereafter and has not been out since and prefers an automatic (he drives a Ford Focus).
