We all know she can safely ignore both and drive quickly, safely and reach her destination in style and never look at or use either.

All the best.
But GTI though I'd have somewhat easier digesting this had it been (no disrespect intended) Corolla

I'm not for a second saying she must know or should get a manual transmission car, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that if she did know about RPMs, she might be better/safer driver initially and in the long run (this is her first car, brand new driver's license). Of course, I might be completely off here.... maybe I'm getting to the age when I just complain about young people.
