In all fairness to the people who have automatic cars or RX-8's, I posted this thread so that they could share their "experiences" as well.

Also nothing special again, I first learned to drive on a 2001 Chevy Cavalier.

Man I remember that thing used to be so awesome, with the sub's and stuff.

 

i first learned to drive automatic on a burgandy 1986 volvo 240DL stationwagon.

that car the best turning radius of any car i've ever driven.

 

Mitsubishi Mirage

 

I have a MT car, but I learned to drive an automatic in a 1967 Buick LeSaber (410 c.i.).

 

learned to drive automatic? there is no learning...you get in, look at the markings on the shifter and you know....its far from rocket science. the first car i drove that was automatic was my parents 1998 toyota camry. i hated it. i was so used to manual...it was boring(even compared to my 3 cylinder geo metro that was manual) and i found my left foot was tensed up the entire drive pushing against the dead pedal with all its might. haha.

1975 Ford Maverick back in 1984

 

A 1999 Honda Civic.

 

There is more to driving a car than just shifting. This will not turn into a automatic transmission (and the people who drive them) bash. I have deleted one post because of that.

 

I learned to drive on manuals, the only auto I've owned was a '97 Protege. I can't say there was any learning involved, I just put it in drive and hit the gas.

 

2002 pontiac grand prix.

 

2001 Jeep Liberty Limited, offroading ftw.

 

1993 Mazda MPV.

 

I learned in a 1990 infinity q45

 

1990 Mercury Topaz. First and last piston powered car I've owned.

 

1978 Jeep J10 Honcho. It could hardly move...

 

I used to have to drive those pieces of crap all the time when I worked for Budget Rent a Car. Many times people would get hit in the head by the motorized seatbelt. About the only thing good about the Tempo / Topaz was its ice box A/C

 

My heater smelt like waffles and syrup when turned on. Winters were so badass.

 

1971 Datsun 510 sedan, it was a pea green soup kind of color and slow as dirt. With the A/C on it was faster to walk, but it was my first car.
See a trend here for me?

 

First automatic car I learned to drive was my parents Olds Nintey-Eight Regency. It was a nice car. MY first automatic car was a 1979 Camaro.

 

A 2001 Audi A4

 

I think it was the 1969 Chrysler?

 

Lexus ES 350

 

No way, I learned on a 1992 Mazda MPV. It was the first time I discovered how important having ABS is and how dangerous RWD is in a light vehicle when in the wet and in the snow lol

 

1989 thunderbird, my dad's old car. it was a frikkin boat but i was so excited about driving, i didnt care what the car was.
