easy solution, pull the damn wheel and check it out for yourself, it will be a much better answer for you than us guessing at it from a limited description...

Um...ok so because you let someone learn manual on your car they fucked up your brakes?

If the pads are grinding, you need to replace them. What is that? 50 bucks if that for a good set of replacement pads?

That doesnt tell us much. Can you elaborate on what EXACTLY is not right?

Maybe you clutch is going bad, if he rode it the whole time...

ok then why does your original post talk mostly about the brakes? brother plain and simple, although there is a lot of knowledgeable people on this board, you can't expect us to read your post, someone else drove my car and its running like shit and expect us to help you, why don't you try posting details such as how the car is running like shit, what symptoms it has, when does it run like shit, is there a check engine light on, etc. . .

Hmm I've never had a problem and I live 15 miles up a nice steep mountain road, and have exchanged them 4 times now...maybe its cause I bought the semi-matallics which are a bit more expensive
