In my youth it was sort of point of pride that one could drive a manual, and in those days the automatic transmissions were less efficient, had fewer gear ratios, and sometimes had reliability issues. So by and large, my cars have all been manuals.
My 2004 Passat is still running with a manual. Given current car prices I don't know if there will be a "next" car for me before I give up driving. If there is one, I'm guessing it will not be a manual due to lack of availability.
