The best way is to learn by doing. Being in an actual car in a safe, open, paved area such as an empty parking lot with an experienced driver coaching is the cheapest and most effective way to learn how to control a car. The amount of feedback that a driver gets by actually driving (forces, inertia, sensations through the pedals, steering wheel, etc.) would be difficult to recreate unless an expensive simulator is used. Learning to drive with other drivers on the road takes practice that a simulator will have a difficult time to recreate.
