...having taught both my son & daughter, (daughter was quicker to
get good/proficient, even on the stick shift VW, & remains the much

recall how inept "we" were, and how easily distracted/unskilled the novice
driver is. Good call on the X, imo; if the crap hits the fan, he has good
protection. I learned on a metallic crap brown 1960 Ford station wagon,
3 on the tree.
