Can you drive a manual?

This is not intended to cause an argument or finger-pointing - it's merely a point of interest as to how many people love the DCT/Automatic options now present in cars (lets face it, if you couldn't drive manual you couldn't drive a Ferrari 20 years ago) because it now allows them to drive cars in this range and higher?

I included/said Automatic because some vehicles (Aston Martin etc) are still automatics in some of their vehicles. It was not meant as any slight on the DCT drivers.

I think this is a great idea for a poll.

However, the resulting discussion is highly likely to degenerate into DCT vs. MT eventually, and we have a thread for that already. All replies have been moved to that thread. Here's a direct shortcut to the first reply to the OP:

Closing this thread would also close the poll, so that's why it is left open. Please use the following thread for comments:
