Marc, I think its a great idea getting Sarah to learn how to drive stick. Better yet that she has chosen a MS3 as a potential future vehicle. You will have a hard time keeping up with her now

It's the perfect learner
I would do the truck over the S hands down, and for a very specific reason
The 6-speed in out truck has a very, very, very low 1st gear
This will be a huge advantage to the student because a perfect gas down + clutch up is not really needed
The ability to get the truck moving is much easier because of the low gearing, and just getting the damn vehicle to move forward without stalling will do a lot to boost the student's confidence
And there in-lies the secret, making them feel good about their progress will propel them forward to do even better
Teaching is a head game, I love it

I had Sarah sit in the driver's seat of the S last night. She does not have an easy time seeing over the dash.
I may be having her learn on the truck.

Of course, I sit a bit too close to the air bag, but unless I can get adjustable pedals on the S.......
