Tom,
In Perth you have the
choice.
E-Class Any motor car with
automatic transmission.
A-Class Any motor car equipt to seat 10 or less adult persons including
driver.
And No You Can't drive a manual with only a E-Class
licence.
I hope this sorts out all the
questions,
P.S You can not get a cheap upgrade to
A-Class after 12 months over here in Perth, you need to resit your test in a car
with manual transmission.
