Cars.. Which one do you prefer?
Manual, if you ever need a jump start, it is possible, but not with an automatic. I trained on an automatic but have had mostly manual cars once I had my licence.
I wanted to learn automatic, but now I'm glad I learnt manual.
The cars are cheaper, save more on fuel, and your license covers both manual and automatic.

Manual all the way. Automatic seems lazy unless you have a genuine need for the transmission such as a gammy left hand that makes gear shifting difficult.
If you pass your test in an automatic - you aren't covered to drive a manual, so would have to retake your test in a manual.
I find automatics boring tbh and I found it very easy (prior to ABS) to cause an auto to go into a skid when emergency braking, whereas I've never gone into a skid in a manual.
Manuals win hands down for me (I find they have far better acceleration aswell *ahem lol* )
Mine won't go more than 25 mph up a hill. If I try to faster it just makes more noise.
My friends parents are making my friend learn automatic and I think they are mad. They want her to drive their practically new toyota prius but they don't want her to drive it alone. I really don't see the point, no different than being a learner driver. Learning to drive in a manual would be practically like learning to drive all over again because its a whole new skill to learn.

Manual. I considered learning in automatic because i thought it would be easier - but it really isn't! Learn in a manual and its all fine Plus the you get a better range of cars - and they tend to be cheaper!
i dont drive yet but i heard that automatics were easier, though judging by these comments they dont seem to be! id learn in a manual cos as others have said then you can drive either

thanks to vicky for making the banna!
I would agree with automatics being easier, in a manual you have to learn clutch control and the gears but its more useful to know.
