you definitly want a safe car to start off road training so a volvo/vw/ or a ford taurus aka voted #1 safest car in america, will do the trick

It does not matter. And an automatic is far easier to learn on.

Honda’s are the most forgiving in terms of manual transmissions as their engine power curve is incredibly flat. However the cable clutches of some of the older civics made for jack rabbit starts until you worked the clutch in so look for one with a hydraulic clutch like the Integras or make sure the cable clutch hasn’t been recently adjusted (when adjusted, you spend a few days or so with jack rabbit starts). Just keep in mind that there’s no way to tell how much clutch you have left on a hydraulic clutch so if you’re buying a used one, ask when was the clutch plate replaced (hopefully it won’t be too long ago), it might be wise to just go ahead and replace it every 100,000 miles or so just to avoid the experience of shifting without a clutch (you need a bionic arm to get it into gear). Cable clutches can have their wear estimated by a good mechanic and when they fail, the clutch slips so it’s not as worrisome as a failed hydraulic clutch.
