What car did you learn to drive in? Shocked to see what learners are now driving...

I learnt in a 1.2 Clio initially then the instructor swapped to a 1.4 Clio. I swear there was no difference between the two!

I imagine these days whatever happens to be a good deal per month would play a big part in the car decision.
 
Can't remember what I first had official lessons in when I was 17 but I do know I spent some time driving my mates clio and fiat cinquecento around the school playground that his mums bf was the caretaker of at the weekends. When I finally pulled my finger out and got my licence at the grand age of 29 I learnt in a Citroen C3.
 
unofficially .... a tractor and Renault fuego when I was around 9 or 10.

officially .... a (1st model) rover 216 with my parents, and a ~1991 fiesta with my instructor

I learnt to drive in a Corsa C. My daughter just passed her test in a Peugeot 208 latest model.

You do see a lot learning in automatics now compared to when I learnt to drive.

Unofficial lessons with my dad sat beside me were done in a Mazda 323f (with the pop-up headlights!) and my 306 HDI. My ten official driving lessons and the actual driving test was done in a 206 HDI. I took my test in Monmouth on a normal weekday when everyone was at work, so it was a fairly relaxed test.

Before getting my provisional licence I did a small amount of driving in a field in a very rusty Toyota Hilux farm truck and later a MK3 Golf GTI on surrounding private tarmac tracks - a bonus of living out in the countryside I guess.
