He and I both agreed that I shouldn't learn on the FR-S
Well sure, I agree with that, too, and my plan would be to teach you first in my Hyundai Accent which is very forgiving and easy to learn in. But sounds like you and your dad have a similar plan in mind. Glad to hear it! You might want to consider buying a really cheap older Civic or Corolla for a few hundred $$, then donate it if you can't resell it. Learning manual really isn't difficult, and if you can drive (almost) every day it won't take you more than a few weeks or a month or two tops before you could start transitioning to the FR-S so the beater wouldn't need to be any kind of long term investment. But your dad probably knows all that already lol.
