discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 5m 14d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 13/06/17 03:58 AM Share Posted 13/06/17 03:58 AM (edited) Yep more of a worry is the external bodywork. I'm lucky my other half isn't keen on driving with a trailer on and so I never have to worry about her crumpling the rear quarters...does mean I have to drive every time we need to tow something though! She can also drive it fine normally - 320rwkw and automatic. I guess you would want to point out she should not panic and stomp on the pedal in an emergency though unless you've let her give it WOT in safe surroundings a few times, just so she knows what to expect. If she's only ever driven Camrys etc it might scare her (even stock). Funny how even modding to hugely increased power the feeling becomes normal after a while for us regular drivers though.
