It's nice the car can do it, but the satisfying feeling you get when you do it yourself cannot be matched by anything else.

Yes, it takes practice. But it's not as hard as you think. The beauty of it is that the skill is transferable to any other manual car you may drive. I recently had the displeasure of driving a manual Dacia Duster SUV in Germany. There was nothing enjoyable about that thing, but being able to rev match downshift put a smile on my face.

Not many other cars have synchro rev matching. But if you learn to do it in one car, you'll forever be able to do it in every manual car. It's a skill you'll always appreciate!!!
Been doing it since I started driving... but having the feature is a plus. It's definitely not needed, but that isn't the selling point of the sport package. Keyword being package. I'm sure everyone here knows or has learned to rev match.
