Can you drive a manual transmission?
And where are you from? And how old? Not "do you" but just if you know how.
I'm in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

In the UK it's pretty standard to learn in a manual. I currently have an automatic and honestly I don't want to go back. I like to think I'm a pretty good driver and gears were never an issue for me, but man is it nice to have one less thing to think about when driving.
Oh and I'm 39.
As a fellow UK-er, the only real criticism I've heard about automatics is that it can be difficult to pull off quickly from a standstill - Have you found that at all?
Not at all. I have only owned the one automatic though so I can speak for all of them. I have a Volvo V60 D3 and the acceleration from standing is pretty damn good.
