18 year old Australian here. I need to learn to drive manual for the career path I want, so I need a manual car.

What's the best manual car that an 18 year old can get? Preferably something that isn't ugly as fuck, or expensive as fuck.

PLS LEAVE

Also, if you're taking on a career where driving a manual is a requirement, it's probably a career that won't exist for much longer than the next 10 years.

It's the Air Force. I'm sure it'll still be here 10 years from now.

The very act of "driving" in itself won't be around for long. Manual transmissions have an even shorter lifespan.

Also, Auscuck, pls go away.

Mitsubishi lancer maybe, unless you're looking for a 4WD, but the running costs are heaps high once you get into 4wd.

>>16450560
Thanks. And nah, I'm not looking for a 4WD or anything, just a sedan or a coupe is fine with me.

I love aussie cars. It's like the combo of america's obsession with large displacement engines and australia's strangeness.

V8 Ute, like a falcon anon. Don't know the price, but you could prolly find one.

There will be more and more sophisticated driving assists, but fully autonomous cars- something that you can rely on to work correctly in all conditions- can't exist until general AI does.

Short of that, the only driving that computers can handle is the subset that can be boiled down to sensing objects and markings and adjusting controls accordingly.

I live in a hamlet with only a very narrow winding single lane to reach the main road. There's a 4-way intersection where at least one way is blind however you approach. There's lots of overhanging vegetation. I'm in Scotland, so it is pouring with rain continuously.

To navigate this safely, sensors aren't enough. You need to be able to actually understand the world around you and make inductions. You have to reason about where a hazard may be even though it's hidden. You need to predict what other drivers and pedestrians are going to do. Stuff that is utterly natural for humans and essentially impossible for computers short of general AI.
