I can understand people liking to shift to feel the car and thats fine for those that want that side of the house. The other side is the ones that want the quicker shifts for performance and not have to work the clutch so much in traffic. F1 guys arent in it for the feel of the car but the better performance. Just depends which side of the house you are in.

Another thing might be age too, Ive had plenty of manuals and I really dont miss them with the new ATs. IMO of course.

Now 7AT FTW. lol.

good point, i wish people would just be honest. If you got an AT just b/c you didn't want to use the clutch(whether cuz you've had enough manuals in your life or you just never learned), thats fine

apparently regardless of transmission choice in this car, everyone seems to love shifting gears, just some don't want to use their left foot, nothing wrong with it just admit it. just be honest. i got a manual because it makes my peni$ seem bigger... can't we all just get along?

I'd buy an auto if I were going to leave it stock because it's faster. I'd buy a manual if I want to upgrade power because it's 10X's easier with a manual. It's that simple.
