Aw, you forgot the clutchless manual. But then again, not many munfacturers use it. BMW and I think Ferrari has them at the moment. BMW calls it SMG transmission, sequential manual gearbox? Something like that. I had a BMW Z4 that had one.
Poll: What do you drive, what kind of transmission, and do you like it?

2001 Honda Civic 5-Speed Manual. LOVE it. Wouldn't go back to an automatic if...well, maybe if you paid me.
I drive a 1975 Ford Elite, 4-speed automatic. It has a 460 cubic inch (about 7.5 liters) V8 "Police Interceptor" engine. So yeah, it's fast. And gets about 10 mpg. (Of course it has a 26 gallon tank, so fillups are not as often as other cars, but they cost like $100...)
Loaded '06 Nissan X-trail with a 5 speed manual, 98k KM and selectable all wheel drive. A ridiculously excellent car/SUV all things considered, I am just really cheesed that they stopped selling them in Canada; everyone I know who owns one loves it. They are supposed to be big in Australia as well from what I have heard
I also have a beat up old '90 Pathfinder, also manual, that I have named the "red ruckus" due to all the rust, lack of anything resembling suspension, and the fact that most of the exhaust system fell off a while back... Although I can leave this thing as is for a whole Yukon winter, and it will fire up no problem come spring...

Dodge Dakota, manual.
I hate the foot break and it drinks gas like water, going into a can with no bottom. It seemed to be built like a tank but now it's falling apart which sucks.

2007 Acura TL type-s
6-speed manual
I hate driving automatics. But unfortunately, living in the US, nearly everyone does. Major pet peeve of mine is when some a-hole in an automatic inches up to a traffic light. So either I have to inch up with them (and wear out my clutch) or just sit there with a ton of space between me and the car in front of me. Seriously automatic drivers, is it that hard to just keep your foot on the brake?

'08 Mazda 6 iSport. Manual transmission. Absolutely wonderful car.
Before that I drove a '96 Mazda 626. Manual as well. Most reliable car I have ever driven. We replaced the clutch once. That has been the only major replacement we have made to the car. We bought it brand new and it still runs better (in my mind) than our '00 Subaru Outback Limited and my mother's new (-ish) '06 Nissan Maxima.
I love Mazda. They make one hell of a car. And I will always drive manual. It is the only way to drive. And that is a fact.
