When my daughter was an impecunious medical student studying in
Australia (one country across) she looked at buying a low cost car. I
waxed eloquent re the virtues of a stick shift but my wife (a
competent column and stick shift driver) convinced her that nowadays
most people prefer autos instead. Then somebody *gave* her a car. It
lasted out her time as a student. It was manual :-).
