Paddle Shift

^^I like to think that I can shift a manual very quickly. The auto shifts faster than even my best shifts (albeit not by very much) and does so with flawless consistency.

And yeah 10K miles. I drive a lot, and my commute is almost 30 miles each way. I'm trying to move closer to work. Hopefully that will cut my miles by a 2/3rds.

Hmm someone edited what I replied to earlier, my response doesn't even make sense now

As far as shifting speed goes, I think it's really good for an auto with paddle shifters. On a straight line, pedal to the floor - I think an experienced 6MT driver can shift faster, because those are the easiest/fastest shifts to make and there's nothing else going on. But for curvy stuff where one would be shifting "carefully" and watching car balance, etc, I think the 7AT will hold its own against a 6MT driver just fine.
