J.J.: What is the best 5 speed compact car for a teenager?
It dawned on me the other day that my oldest will be driving soon and I want her to learn a stick right off the bat. What would be a great but inexpensive 5 speed compact car for a teenager learning to drive? Something a teenager would not be embarrassed to drive. New or Used doesn’t matter!
