My GF loves to drive the EVO, she has only driven it twice but she always has a grin ear to ear. She is a noob to driving a manual and just bearly gets into boost.
I did allow her to drive my GTi a few times before the Evo, she loves to "make the turbo go off" as she puts it. My GTi is much faster than my stock evo.

Ok how about this why dont both of you go to a racing class/school for half of day they will teach you how to do almost anything. And it dont cost that much either. Trust me once you learn how to drive on a track it transfers over to everyday driving your level of awareness on the road increases. Plus you learn whats possible and isnt possible. Im going to save up so i can do a whole weekend worth of training.

taught 1 gf to drive stick on my evo, she was scared mostly because her x scared her about the boost lol but after a few hours, she got it.
last gf i let drive cause "she's into cars" and "wants a super fast car" and thinks she can drive anything lol. her x (suprisingly....same guy as before....long story) has a GC8 jdm sti swap with some tiny turbo and she thought it wsa just the fastest thing in the world. funny part is she thought mine was slower but when boost really started to hit she'd let off. my car was much slower then lol now....there are 2 people i would let drive my car anytime they like. one of my best buddies who is also a suby nut but helps me wrench and understands turbo cars, and my bro. wwait...does my tuner count? lol

I've been with my gf for 4 years and I know she is a decent driver... but even SHE KNOWS the evo is too much for her. When I let her drive my modded ralliart she had problems controlling the power. Evos get away from you easy if you don't know what you're doing... and I love my car too much for something to happen to it. I'm just glad my girl knows it's too much car for her.

I am currently teaching my GF how to drive stick on the EVO. She has previously driven a manual car but is afraid of getting the EVO from N to 1st gear.
She has been getting better and she gave it a little boost the other day when we were driving around. After she experienced the boost now she wants a black evo 9.

Mine is absolutely terrified of my car.
She rode in it when i test drove the car at the dealer and freaked out when I hit boost.
After I got the Green, she rode in it, hit boost, freaked out again, even more..
When I say freaked out, I mean "FREAKED OUT" crying, etc, it was bad..
Now she refuses to even ride in it..
Good thing i have the jeep, or maybe not ,lol..
