1st car for the kid - Toyota Yaris Forums

cali yaris · 08-29-2011, 02:34 PM

My son got his first car last Christmas. I spent several sessions with him in my Toyota 4x4 truck teaching him. I figured if he could handle that, he could drive anything.

Main critical skill was hills with a manual. After 1st and 2nd gear, it's just driving around to learn your gears.

We got him an xB 1st gen, he loves it and he's a really good driver. HE insisted on a manual; makes me smile every time I tell it.

My dad always says it made him the happiest dad in the world the day I told him he better not buy me an automatic for my first car. lol

Car dads must all think alike :P
