I taught my son in my father's Mustang instead of my (much) newer car. Yes traction control, but no shift indicator, no telling you what gear it thinks you should be in, no holding the brake on a hill, no automatic releasing of the parking brake, no lane keep assist and no backup camea.

Yeah, unfortunately all our cars are all wheel drive with traction control, antilock brakes and hill hold. All have backup cams, cross traffic warnings, and nothing that needs to be shifted while driving.

My teen’s first car will be my old Subaru, which is pretty well loaded , and difficult to lose traction with. I do wish I had something more basic for them to learn on. We’re supposed to get snow this weekend so hopefully I’ll be able to have them drive in slippery conditions
