Do you know how hard it is to find a nice coupe that's also an automatic? With a stick, she'll always be able to have a back-up way of starting the car(bump start), should the integra come up with a dead battery somewhere. The starter motor on a stick car can also be used as an emergency way to get the car out of the roadway, should the car become disabled. Or, whacked scenario #3: Boyfriend of said daughter has medical emergency (knocked himself out?) at the State Park. She has to drive. What, can't drive his car (which is a 5 spd)??
Here are a couple possible creampuffs to consider. How long will she own the efficient, reliable, durable, well-balanced Integra? It's worth taking a little road trip to get a nice one.
