Confessions of a 7AT Driver

trust me you dont want the 6MT, the clutch sucks and the gearbox is sloppy and not smooth. People says its raw.. I dont feel that way really. I'm a great manual driver and this car needs to be perfectly launched and floored to not get dusted by your average V6.

I wish i got the 7AT, you can actually feel a little bit of the torque on throttle response.

This I agree with completely. I've been back on the market looking for a 6MT lately and thought about ditching the auto entirely. I drove yet another manual the other day and guess what... I still have my 7AT. Honestly, I just don't feel the torque in the manual. I don't really feel anything. I'm a damn good driver in a manual but there was something inherently wrong. In the 7AT, obvously I feel like something is missing but at least it doesn't feel wrong. So I think I may stick with it after all. But if I do rebel, I'll let you know.

Oh, and by the way... did I mention I trapped 13.57 in the 1/4 mile at 105.17? Bone stock? Pretty much right on target with the advertised reports. I think I'm good with my auto.
