Buying a 2003 Toyota Matrix for teenagers

When I turned 16 I learned to drive stick on a 94 Saturn Sedan (so it would’ve been around 10 years old at the time). My dad had me learn on his Caravan and mom’s Corolla prior to taking my driving test and until I felt comfortable driving them around before he taught me to drive stick in the Saturn. Glad he did, I had far fewer friends try to borrow my car since they couldn’t drive stick!
