Years ago I preferred manual but automatics have improved so much that I now prefer them. In the states we can drive either if we are licensed.

One license covers both here, and I can drive both. I love a standard but drive an automatic.

I am licenced to drive everything but "B" doubles.I don't mind driving manuals but it's nice to drive an auto & not worry about having to punch gears.Our current VW has both options.

I can drive both but the older I get the more I like the autos. I taught Cathie thirty some years ago to drive a manual, I stopped on a hill and told her when she makes it over the top she'll know how to drive a stick shift. It worked and that's all she'll drive but the old truck did go through hell, thank God it had a tough old cast-iron transmission with a granny gear. Her latest is a 2014 VW Passat TDI with the 6 speed manual.

I have not been able to master the art of driving a stick shift so I prefer an automatic.

One license for autos/pickups, one for motorcycles, one for semis here. 

My cars have had manual transmissions since 1986. Not everyone can drive them, making them less likelyto be stolen.

I learned how to drive period with a manual. The first three cars I drove were manuals. My husband's father owned a used car lot, I drove all sorts of cars.....

Racers all usually want manuel transmissions because you can wind out the gears further and red-line the motor. The shift points, can be much higher and you can also down-shift more aggressively. But if a person owns an economy car an automatic transmission would be totally fine and probably more convenient too.

The rare Heuers are flat-out making a statement at auction like the most recent Phillips sale with a link "full lume" ref. 2446 Autavia and an "MG" ref. 3647 Carrera. Also back in March the tides were shown to link be turning on a "screw back" ref. 2446 Seafarer at Sotheby's. The top of the Heuer market is reestablishing itself. And I say link reestablishing due to the reverberations of Phillips' 2017 "Heuer Parade" with no fireworks that collectors often reference.
