I agree. I've found that getting them to handle the basics (starting stopping,
turning, etc) to the point where they do the basics well,
that's the time to
introduce the added complexity of self-shifting!

The 17 year old is a male. He has
little interest in cars. The Subaru fits him well. It's just transportation.
The wife has driven a stick a few times, but just isn't comfortable. The nice
thing of the MG, is that its such an easy clutch to drive.
I replaced the
clutch when I bought it 10 years ago. Probably has 25k miles on it now. It's
in good shape.
Now the 15 year old (at the end of the month), he's another
topic. He'll probably want to start in the MG. Not going to happen.
