Certainly my 1.4l Renault Clio is manual. Actually rather nippy all in
all. I've only ever driven an automatic once and as has been touched on
by a previous contributor, my left foot spent most of the time wondering
what it was supposed to do. I imagine I'll stick with telling the car what
to do until the powers that be decide that I am incapable of such an
action.
