Back when I leant to drive, everyone learnt on a manual - automatics were as rare as rocking horse s**t and usually in high-end luxury models.
My first car didn't even have synchro-mesh between 2nd and 1st, so you had to stop to change down to first or double-clutch the change.
Ironically, 40 years later I drive a car that has a ZF 6HP26 auto, which doesn't like changing from 2nd to 1st while moving... Dunno what that says about progress...
