I want CONTROL of the clutch. Via my left foot, not by some damned Nintendo putah' vetoing my ability to DRIVE the damn car as I see fit. I'm 32. Fortunately, a car can last 50 years, and manuals are still available. Meaning that if I buy a new car with a REAL transmission, it could last me till I either cack it, or we stop using gasoline.

Put it this way -- if a manual is available, I'd special order it even if it takes putting down $5k cash up front and threatening the dealer's future ability to procreate.
