Lol yes.

Here's a 4th - manual rocks! FUNNN! And a manual licence allows you to drive both manual and auto, so either way you're good :).

If you've got the option of either, seriously try both and see which you prefer over time, and if you're not fussed, go for manual as that gives you greater flexibility in what you drive in the future.
My friend just got her P's on a manual but until about 6 months ago she hadn't driven anything but auto. It doesn't have to be one or the other straight away.

Auto --> if you just want to get from point A to point B
Manual --> if you actually enjoy driving

I drive automatic, only because both my parents cars are automatic and I don't have access to a manual car (therefore I can't practice in a manual car, thus can't get a manual license).

I got my L's the day after my 16th Birthday... i started in my mums Manual Kia Carnival... it is a big car and i couldn't control it very well but i got the gears a bit then i started professional driving lessons in a manual and that was ok, i drove a small car but i kept getting in trouble for little things like not keeping my arms relaxed or using the slid the wheel thing when your turning... and i stalled it a fair few times. I didn't have much confidence so i changed to auto for my lessons and have had about 10 ish lessons in an auto and its sooooooo much easier, i'm gaining confidence on the road and experiencing the traffic on its own first. I am going back into a manual at the beginning of next year :D i can't wait, im going to get my P's in a manual :D.

Going for a manual license, only have access to manuals rarely (lessons, or if someone lets me borrow theirs) but I've picked it up easily and hopefully will pass the test in January.
