but he has never driven one before..LOL
I told him to train up his skills at least 3 months at night before he drives in the day time

So either MX5 and Z4 will be his best choice.
S2000 maybe just too powerful for him

If his driving lessons and test were done in a manual, he should be alright I think, he has driven automatic, right?

yeah, I think you should train him up regardless then he can tailgate that 335 gai lo snail in a s2000 and see what words come out of that gai lo foul mouth.

Do you really need a 7 seater?
I saw 07 camary selling 160K which is about the same as the 04 Estima we saw last time?
