I dont think this is really a question of driving skill, i think its more about the level of care given to the car in general. To some a curb, scratch, ding.. whatever.... isnt a big deal and to others it is. those are the things i can see happening.
P.S
The amg takes zero skill to drive.. anyone can jump in and punch it.

I guarantee most people are not as **** as I am to my cars, one scratch and I will strip the panel and repaint, still, wife drives mine, no problem.
As we do not know your girlfriend and how well or not she drives along with her awareness of surroundings, it is difficult to provide an appropriate answer.
Since your hesitant, then that is your answer buddy. What does her car look like?

It Depends
I'd say it depends on why she wants to drive it.
1) She wants to drive it because it is a cool car that can go fast and she likes the idea of driving an exciting car.
2) She doesn't really care about driving it, she just knows that it is very important to you and wants to raise an issue of "if you love me, then you'll let me..." and "you always put your car ahead of me". If she gets you to give in, then she will feel she has "won".
If it is #1, then maybe take her to a big empty parking lot and show her what you want her to know and let her have some fun. She might surprise you.
If it is #2, then dump her now. Because if its not the car, she will pick whatever she feels is important to you (family, friends, job, etc.) and make it a "love test". Her goal is to "win" by making you give up who you are a little at a time.
How's that for a Dr. Phil moment?

She says she likes the passenger seat too much.

Sorry, couldnt resist my fav movie quote.
Seriously though its your car. If you think your GF wouldnt take care of it or are worried about something happening to it then dont let her drive. My GF knows the level of detail I put into keeping my ride looking nice and treats it well whenever shes behind the wheel.
