    I learnt to drive in my mums 308sw when I was 12 or 13. Even the sw variant wasnt big enough for our family in the end so we sold it.

    Wow, you bumped a post from almost 2 years ago!

    OT: Manual all the way!

    Why?

    • Manuals are cheaper and easier to maintain as parts and servicing usually cost less than an automatic
    • Manuals cost less than a automatic equipped vehicle
    • Your car is less likely to get stolen by thieves as they most likely don't drive a manual
    The auto I would only drive is a DCT.

    I'd take a automatic in city traffic. Driving with a manual car in the city is absolute hell. Especially in stop and go traffic.

    I have a 1956 Willys Pickup with a hell of a doggy 3-speed manual and a 1995 Jeep Cherokee XJ with a 5-speed manual.

    Doesnt work here. You do your drivers lessons and tests in a manual in UK, otherwise you arent allowed a full license. Most of EU is like this too with some countries having no way to take a test in an automatic at all.

    As we pretty much don't have autos in France, I can't really compare the two.

    But manuals, with no hesitation, you won't get rid of my clutch pedal :D
