I taught my daughter on our 94 Camry - the same car we used to bring her home from the hospital. The car had over 250k on it and the clutch had been replaced at 180k. She definitely put some wear and tear on the clutch, and I'm glad it wasn't on the Boxster.

Unfortunately, there just aren't that many manual transmission cars around anymore that you could beg or borrow and use as a substitute for the Box. When the Camry became uneconomical to fix, I bought her a Civic with a manual, but it seemed like there were 5 or 6 automatics for every manual I could find on Craigslist. The Honda clutch is much lighter than the Boxster's and to be honest, the shifter is more precise.
