For the month where I was without a car before buying the SVX and for the months where the SVX sat in the garage on flat tires and a dead battery, I drove my dad's Contour pretty exclusively. I agree that constantly using the manual makes you forget about using it. For normal driving, I never had to think about shifting, I just did it. But when you have to constantly be doing 1st-gear shifts from dead stops every few feet, even that becomes apparent.
Come on now. Please don't tell me that you manual guys aren't even the least bit bothered by gridlock traffic.
