Most people in families like yours are apt to learn to drive a stick.
After you drive for awhile, and if really enjoy driving for driving, I think you might also prefer a standard. I prefer a stick over an auto, just because of the enjoyment and thrill of driving it.
yes??????
No, me and my wife have 3 vehicles, all automatics, we both learned on sticks.
