No point in manual these days. I’ve not wiggled a gear stick in 15 years.
The only difficulty with an auto is slow speed control.
The only difficulty in learning to drive as an experienced rider is slow speed manoeuvres in a big box with shit visibility, like reversing and parking.
The hardest part though appears to be finding an available test slot.

Has anyone learned to drive a car "later in life" after riding bikes for a few years?
I've never had the urge to drive a car, but MrsDeth has hinted more than once that it would be helpful if we could share driving duties occasionally (I read this as pick her up after a night on the sauce)
Zero chance of her getting on the bike.
She has a car (automatic) is it "easier" to learn in an auto?
I know you are limited to only auto so "better " to get a proper licence, but chances are I will only have access to her car or rentals on holidays (which would likely be auto too)
If I can learn in half the time with autos, I'd do that route.
