what would be your estimate on the hours needed for a girl --- starting from nil experience --- to learn to drive a manual car , with a proper driving instructor.i realise the -- how long is a piece of string theory -- but just an opinion would help.thanks.

Depends how long it takes you to pick it up but if you have not mastered it after 30 hours then you have no hope.Some in here will say a couple hours but just look at how well they drive.lol

A good driving instructor will give you an idea how long you need after the first couple of lessons.But again I can hear the nay sayers claim they only want your money.

Less than an hour to learn to drive a manual, but it may take weeks before you get confident driving it. Just my opinion.

Half their age into hours is the formula I was given by a driving school, just getting my girl lessons now.
