@Cris As one of the few Americans who actually can drive a manual transmission car (though I'd rather not, so I don't own one) I'd have to have an automatic in England. There's no way I could shift effectively with my left arm. I'd be fine (but annoyed) with a manual in the rest of Europe.
Oddly enough, I don't have a problem shifting with my left foot and clutching with my left hand (but I still want an automatic bike because lanesplitting is illegal here and being stuck in traffic with a manual sucks even more on two wheels than it does on four).
