Thing is I'd like to start learning to drift, would this be possible in an AT since it has paddle shifters? I'm also considering MT, but I'd have to learn to drive MT.
I guess the real question is would I be able to drift in an AT (in sport or out of sport)? If so, are there any good sites I can get tutorials from or do you guys have any instructions or tips of your own for drifting an AT? And if drifting in MT is better, how is it better and what sites would you recommend or tips would you give for drifting one?
I do plan on only practicing in safe conditions where I can't hurt anyone else.
Thanks in advance!

Mate I reckon you should learn MT anyway. I think its a massive disability only knowing how to drive an auto, and if you have any interest in cars / driving, you will want to get the most immersive feeling you can in your car, and MT is the best way to do that, whether drifting or driving to the shops for an iced coffee
also, I can't say from personal experience because I learned in a manual off the bat, but being in a situation where you need to drive someones car somewhere in an emergency and being unable due to a strange stick thing and a third pedal you don't know what to do with... well IMHO that would be pretty shitty.
Even if you keep driving an auto, I think just knowing how to drive an MT should be mandatory.
