So I have just passed my test on manual, have taken lessons on and off for 5years as I kept having breaks whenever I had my baby, finally passed on manual, now what I wanted to ask is, should I buy a automatic car as my first car? I am looking to buy a BMW 1-Series as my first car as I have 3 kids, I am 50/50 as to go for manual or auto, my husband thinks auto will be safer for me and the kids in case I stall on a junction or something as am a new driver, but surely if I go for automatic I will get the hang of it soon? I just don’t want to forget his manuals work if I go for auto as my first car??
What would you do with 3 kids?

You will have more choice of cars with a manual and I personally prefer driving one, however some people prefer automatics.
I would just look for a car you like that ticks your boxes, not specifically a manual or automatic.
