That's the way I see it. If they can learn to drive a stick on a car like a Porsche they can really drive anything.

When my sister drove my mother's Alfa Romeo Graduate, now being a seasoned manual driver, she had no trouble at all, and was singing all sorts of praises to the ease of the Alfa's clutch compared to hers.

I dunno, I kind of appreciate the slightly unforgiving nature of the Boxster's clutch...I get rather sloppy and lazy driving the more domesticated sticks in many other cars.
