Many students take all their lessons in a manual shift car, and the road test in automatic. Others take all automatic lessons, and then buy one or two extra lessons to learn manual shift. Some quick learners start with automatic lessons and then switch their remaining lessons to manual shift. Talk to the office staff for helpful advice and the many flexible options available. This is a very subjective topic and is open to differing opinions from all drivers.
Many people say that manual shift is more fun, while some say that it is more work than it's worth.
It all depends on what exactly you want from the driving experience. Ask yourself these questions and ask other drivers around you. Remember, the more skills you have, the better you are. We suggest you learn all aspects of driving, and then cater yourself to what suits you best.
