Learned on my first car (off the lot)... 25 years ago, and I'm still on the original clutch at 220K miles.

Don't assume.

Honda/Acura?

Still driving my 08 6spd Acura. ~140k. Clutch is original.

Audi.

Nice. I’m not sure if I’m more impressed that it is an original clutch, or that it’s an Audi with 220k miles.

I kid! I kid! 🙂

You definitely get a workout clutching in and out every 2 seconds in stop and go traffic.

DP, but 25 years ago Audi was a well-made car. But they have definitely, uh, shifted brand strategy since then.

I would buy him and older used Toyota, Honda or Subaru. They are out there, either sedans or wagons.

No way would I buy a young man / teen a sports car. That's how they end up dead.
