I don't understand those who "must" have manuals. I can understand those who only drive automatics (my wife), but why would ANY self proclaimed "car enthusiast" limit himself to a manual transmission?

As far as I'm concerned, I love 6MT.
I hate it when ppl say enthusiasts only drive manuals or the other way round. Its simply one's personal choice.
I do enjoy automatic once in a while as a loaner or occasional rental, but just for a day or two. For me it becomes boring. I really don't care about 0-60 timings, I don't race on public roads.
Here is my answer to your question which you don't understand
:
I enjoy engaging my 2 hands and legs with my car, I enjoy the sound of moving stick shifter, I enjoy when I can manipulate the shifting when I want to hear some specific sound from the Performance exhaust (though you can do it with DCT as well) and my wife enjoys 6MT sitting next to me.
