And this is all the more reason to teach her on the Sprite.
My kids learned on a Sprite and a pick up truck.
My daughter can drive anything and she is glad I taught her on both
vehicles.
Between my son and myself, we are teaching my daughter-in-law how to
drive a stick. My son has a Mini that she wants to drive. She takes out
the A40 and practices but she is still a bit shy about the highway.
