I think you're better off learning in a larger car/vehicle. 15 passenger is a bit much, but something above average in size, preferably without power steer. Makes it easier when you jump into a smaller/simplified car for your test.
Actually my drivers manual said don't start off driving in a large car. It's not recommended. Also power steering is recommended.
Unless of course, you have the money to buy a small power steer car. I think you're better to learn in what you're going to drive once you get your permit. You really learn how to park a car without power steer.
I really want my drivers license too. xD I still need to get a permit, though.
You'll come to realise that your driver licence is merely a permit to use the drive thru. Word of advice: buy a car you won't mind fixing... 'cause you're going to fix it regardless. Cars are a consumable and not everyone has a mechanic for a Dad.
Lol, that is true. xD My brother has learned that our mom wants us to have a drivers license – to help with groceries.
Yeah, I understand that. Thankfully, my dad learned everything about cars from his dad, who was a mechanic on big trucks like Peterbilts and Macks. I also really love cars and would probably enjoy working on my car/truck. xD
hehehehe >:3 So your birthday is August 21? ^.^ That's my little sister's birthday. O.O
Wow. Have fun with that buddy. xD Word of advice: don't learn to drive in a 15 passenger van. xD It's very terrifying.

And would it also be good to learn in a stick-shift car? I think it would give me a bit more experience and knowledge of cars.

Depends. Manuals (stick shift) can be fun, but also bothersome. If you're going to be in traffic, I would go with an automatic transmission if you have the money. Traffic jams are the worst in a manual, all those gear changes for nothing. Older automatics aren't as good on fuel as older manuals. However, newer autos are far superior in their fuel economy.
Try the manual and see how you go. If you don't like it, there is no real shame in driving an auto. Auto is the future. Note, if you do decided to try the manual transmission, you may be best to get a power steering car. It'll make learning the H pattern and clutch a little easier. At the end of the day, it's your choice. I just learned in big, non power steer car and I feel like it aided me well in my small car, power steer test.

That's funny.
Advice from my Dad, just don't fix anyone else's car. He flat out refused to let any of his children become mechanics. The pay is terrible and the work only gets harder as cars aren't designed to be fixed anymore.
Allegedly, young people are safer in 2 seated utes... Utilities, one tonners, sedans with the back cut off, whichever you call them. You're less likely to be peer pressured into doing something silly with only one passenger and the long bonnet/hood helps to protect you from impact. They're kinda like what the US calls trucks, only more like a sedan. Not sure if you have anything like that. It's a young tradesmen's go to car. You should do quick search of Falcon and Holden utes. I think they might interest you.
Ah, ok. Can you still see this moving?
