Does anyone regret their transmission decision?

No regrets here for getting a manual.

I love my 6MT, despite the fact almost all of my driving is in the city.

No way would I drive an auto sports car.

I love to shift!

Moving cars around in the driveway, when you are the only one who drives stick, becomes very tiresome. This happened to me when I bought a Chevy S10 pickup with manual trans. Since the wife only drove automatic, I was constantly having to move the truck when it blocked her car in. The solution was quite simple ..... first I traded the truck for an automatic .... then my wife left.... problem solved. My Z is automatic, just in case my next girlfriend can't drive stick.............

I test drove both a 40th and an auto Z. I loved both transmissions equally, but auto won out in the end as I needed SOME practicality. I'm in traffic most of the week and I live in South Florida so the roads are flat and boring anyway.

I don't regret my decision, but yes I do wish it was as fast at shifting as my DSG GTI was.
