5AT Vs. 6MT

Just for kicks I would like to know what is the distribution of 5AT Vs. 6MT, no more. I am not starting another 5AT Vs. 6MT war.

I love my 6 speed. But I'm still so used to a 5 speed that I constantly think that my car is in 4th when in fact it is in 6th. SO I do the 6th to 5th to 6th regularly when I'm driving down the highway. Did anyone else have this problem when they got their first 6 speed.

Ditto. Even my work car ('05 RAV4) has an MT. I can't imagine going back to an auto.

I did get used to the 6th gear, but I do find myself skipping gears often. I like to slam my car when getting into the FL Turnpike so I get from 1st to 2nd, then 3rd and by then I am at the speed of traffic and switch straight to 6th to cruise.
