Mike, you may be onto something with it being a stick. Other kids won't be able to drive it (easily anyway) and your daughter won't be able to text while driving or even hold the phone to her ear (easily) if she has to row through gears. She will likely not be doing much highway driving unless she lives a long way from her school.

Because it's such a small car and she will be surrounded by much larger vehicles like pickup trucks and Tahoe's, helping her understand the physics of size and weight impact on her vehicle will be important.

She will be, without a doubt, the most envied teenager at her high school!
