Gonna buy new car

Manual or the DCT? My dad has a 13' or 14' S5 w/ DCT. Thinks the shifting braps are cool, but kinda misses the manual.

The DCT. The shift burbles do sound really good under WOT. Audi's interior tech is just a really nice system. Certainly nicest i've ever had. I feel like i should dress better when driving it on weekends. Silly i know.

RS3 all day long. I've been doing my best to stop myself from picking one up. The exhaust note is nasty.

My Wife drives a 17' TTS. Every time I get in it, I get a little jelly on my lip. The tech, interior, launch control, and seats are nice. Tuning it makes it a different animal.

I average 1000 miles a year on my Z. Most of time it sits in the garage. I am going over the weekend to look at an 17 SRT Grand Cherokee to dump the Z. Having the Z is wasteful, at least having a fun daily will be more useful to me.
