I'm kinda with Larry and Speed on the stick thing, longer term, but I would opt for a more disposable, starter car. Something like a late Dodge Spirit/Plymouth Acclaim can be had for $1-$1.5 k. Still had airbags (late production) Big enough to survive a bump. Actually, that's what I gave my wife to start out on (she learned to drive at 36- unfortunately she refused to do the manual thing but what could I do?)
Learning a manual might be a bit much out of the box. The second car should be a stick.
That's what I did. My first was an auto . Six months later I was tired of it and got a snazzy MGB.
