I haven’t driven at all since I passed my test.

I just got a new car, which is on the smaller side, but TBH I don’t really remember how to drive. I am sure I will get the gist once I practice for a while.

Do you think it would be wise to invest in a few lessons?

what first car is good for me ?

getting my "first" car in a few weeks .
well really my second because i shared my first one with my brother & he needs it back so im getting one on my own .
my dad wants me to get a two door car, thats good on gas , reliable , safe , & not fast .
new or used as long as its under 20k . getting my car because i did good in school & i was responsible with my first car sorta bc i shared it with my brother .
im looking right now at a 2010 scion tc .
getting it automatic with a pedestal spoiler & thats it . idk how to drive a stick & my parents dont want me to get a stick anyways .
so is it a good car for me ? , i really dont want a honda civic , 60% of my school’s parking lot are honda civics .
thanks for the help :)
@ Osama Bin Diesel , Rx-8 is too fast & too small
@ Raider3 , im still not sure , i really want it but i need to know all the info i need for sure.
@ Stewie , thanks , & the rsx isnt really my stile , the celica is too small , & the 350z is small too
@tonitonika , those cars are too fast
@Mr Toyota Camry , my parents are not ignorant ! , traffic is really bad where i live & i dont want to learn how to drive a stick anyways , it seems to difficult . & i really dont understand how it will make me a safer & better driver when im shifiting all the time . :) , thanks for all the answers guys :)
@ Mr Toyota Camry , thanks for the rude answer & info :) , you see more autos than manuals so . . . .loll , but thanks im sure ill learn & may drive a stick but until then , ill be driving an auto :)

What are the chances of passing a driving test after a 1 week 30 hour intensive driving course compared to a few months of regular lessons – with no previous experience?

how much an hour do you think is reasonable?
in U.S dollars
