If you've rented a car the rentals are almost all automatics.

On a recent visit to Iceland, (almost) all rentals have manual
transmissions. Even the buses that carry passengers from Keflavik to
Reykjavik are manual shift. All of the comforts of a modern excursion
bus - with "rev & shift" like a 1940's Greyhound.

Richard, The Miata (MX-5) is one of the few cars here in the US that is
predominantly a manual transmission car. Auto's are few and far between.

Thanks for the reply,
