I had my wife drive my SDL shortly after I got it, so she'd be comfortable (er, less uneasy) if she ever needed to drive it (particularly if I were away--as I sail on ships for a living, I usually "go away" to work for three to four months at a time). It took her awhile to get the hang of WOT driving, but liked the car better once she did. The next day, she drove her vehicle (Nissan Pathfinder) and was burning rubber at every stop.
