[quote=Anonymous]I think a stick shift is a great car to learn to drive on. It's just a little harder. OP--IMO everyone should know how to drive a stick, just in case they need to one day. And automatic cars have not been around forever, OP--most of us in our 40s, out west, learned on stick shifts. The thing I'm going to consider when my kid hits driving age is the safety of the car. There is a lot more chance your kid will get in an accident than you will. Normally, my philosophy would dictate that my kid would start out with a beater car like I did so as not to be spoiled---except for the safety issue. The safety issue ramps it up for me, makes me consider say, a 2 y.o. safe car. Also, because I have DDs, I don't want a car that can break down.[/quote]
