If you can't drink coffee while driving a manual, you're just not very good at driving a manual. I've eaten three entire meals while driving in my car during the past week.

I have not had any problems with mine. Therefore, using the same logic you used, all of them must be reliable.
Before accepting that there's anything inherently wrong with manual transmission in this car, I would need to see statistics showing the actual incidence of this "laundry list of problems" compared with the number of the cars on the road. Then I would need to see statistics on whether those problems are actual quality control problems or are caused by people who have no clue how to drive a manual and are tearing up the cars themselves. Anecdotal evidence posted on a message board is unreliable, because people like me who have had no problems with their transmissions are not running to the message board to post threads titled, "Help! No problems with my transmission!"
