What kinds of vehicles did you learn how to drive in?

I started learning at age 17 in 2006. At home, it was my parents' 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan. That thing was a total nightmare for someone learning how to drive, with its poor rear visibility and crappy handling. For Driver's Ed class at school, it was a Ford Taurus which was way better for a learner.

Our driver’s ed vehicle was a 1975 Gran Torino. At home I practiced in a 1970 Toyota Corona, which became my car. And later, my husband bought a VW Cabriolet and taught me how to use the shift.

@bijouxbroussard A smaller vehicle definitely would have been better to practice with. Unfortunately, our other vehicle was a Volvo 740 wagon with no power steering that would have been worse than the van.
