I currently don't have a full license, but I first learned to drive in 2011/12, in a manual. Hated it for a variety of reasons (anxiety/panic, and a horrible instructor, found it difficult in manual), so I'm going to go back and learn in an auto very soon. Hoping to pass my test so I can finally drive. I'm doing it more for the fact of wanting to go from A to B, than the joy of driving. Besides, who gets joy from driving, its dangerous!
