Wife drove mine for the first time the other day, she usually drives around in a Expensive Daewoo Cruze 1.8 Petrol which has to be one of the most underpowered cars I've had a the misfortune of having to drive. The G6ET isn't a monster unless you want it to be, she had no problem keeping it tamed and I was happy to chuck her the keys when she wanted to take some of her friends for a drive the other day. I agree with the "just go buy one" comments the wife will love it and you'll get to enjoy it when she lets you behind the wheel (I'm lucky my wife doesn't like driving much otherwise I reckon I'd struggle to keep her out of the drivers seat).
