My 6MT vs Auto driving impression. Opinions please

ayrton88 · 04-30-2012, 03:50 PM

Call me old fashioned, but I could never own an automatic. I like to be fully involved in the driving experience...even just tooling around town or even in Chicago traffic. I had a BMW with the SMG paddle shifter...boring. Traded it for the same car with a true manual. Learned a very expensive lesson. I never even considered an automatic in the Z. Sure they might be faster but can you heel and toe? And no...I don't use the rev match thingy on the Z. That said, I do like power steering and A/C. I'm not that ready to go back to my beloved British '60s sports cars.
