  Nowadays, most auto cars have, depend on models
  
  No clutch in this case. My fren say his Mazda 3 auto want to overtake sometimes very hard. He has to switch so called semi manual to give his car more power.
  
  Just like Daytona, just change gear, dunnit clutch

  The Honda city has it. It is an auto car, there's a button on rite side of steering wheel where u can change to manual, once changed, u can change gear by pressing the '+' & '-' button on left/rite side of steering wheel. No clutch, reali cool...

  hm..... i wont say that it's totally manual.... but you see some auto transmissions got either a + - beside the 'D' or you see some with 1,2,3. i think that basically just forces the transmission to stay at a certain gear instead of changing it electronically when it reaches a certain speed. but if you drive an auto i don't see why on earth would you wanna go manual again.

  It depends on the make of the car... so far I have seen different kinds... but they all have the +/- to change gear, either using buttons or pusing the gearstick... my old galant used to have the manual-override too, juz got to push the gearstick to the +/- section then can play around liao
  
  How about semi-automatic cars like alfa romeo's selespeed or ford fiesta etc... They work juz like manual but there's no clutch pedal although there is a clutch which engages and disengages automatically...

  There are a few "types" of "manual" mode auto gears.
  
  1. Auto Transmission with Manual Mode.
  The ones implemented in the regular BMWs, Porsche Tiptronic, Mazda 3, Mazda 6 and Mercs are still regular automatic transmissions, aka those with torque converters.
  
  In a regular automatic transmission, you still have different gear ratios (usually 4 speed like the Mazda and earlier Porsches, but can also be 5/6 even 7 speeders in the higher end Mercs), but you don't use a clutch to switch between different gears. The power is transmitted through a torque converter.
  
  Even for those without a manual mode, you can still use these gears manually by switching to by using the 1, 2, D with OD off and D to switch to 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears respectively.
  
  The Tiptronic (and other variants) merely provide a more convenient way of switching between the gears.
  
  2. CVT with Manual Mode
  
  
  CVT does not have a standard gear ratio but uses a variable gear ratio using the system above.
  
  But most CVT transmissions do have a preset series of ratios to mimic a 4 or 5 or 6 speed gearbox like with the PI Honda Fit/Odyssey or the Audi CVT boxes.
  
  3. Manual gearboxes with automatic clutch
  
  The most complex ones are those used in Formula One/Rally cars. These use the same clutch based manual gearbox as in regular manual cars, but there is a mechanism that engages and disengages the clutch automatically, instead of using yr left foot.
  
  Used in some low end cars (to improve fuel economy) like Ford Fiesta, Opel Meriva, Corsa. More advanced versions with faster switching and blipping of throttle in downshifting are used in BMW SMG/SMGII, Alfa Selespeed, Ferrari 360 CS etc. Volkswagen even has a dual clutch system called DSG which is even more impressive.
