My mom learned to drive (not just stick, but *drive*) on my dad's manual '76 vette when it was new, and my BRZ is the first stick car my girlfriend ever drove. Aside from tricky blindspots, I think the BRZ is a wonderful car to learn manual on; it's light and easy to get going, the clutch is not heavy, it's a small car, giving you very little to worry about other than understanding how the shifter and clutch. I felt that even more so on my brother's S2K (it felt unstallable :P).

Every modern day car should be able to hold up to a few people learning to drive with 3 pedals on it without puking out. You shouldn't have to learn on a beater.
