This is the exact reason I opted for the VW, next to the AWD capability. Our first BMW was a '91 318is that I taught her to drive a stick and wound up being her car. While we survived that lesson period in our marriage and she's not bad by any stretch of the imagination (although she still can't execute a perfect high-heel-n-toe yet ), she would prefer not to have to deal with it.
