MT is always fun. In certain types of tracking, like auto x and complex circuits, the control is crucial from the 6mt. You save 1300 bucks as well. But my experience with the 7 at is you don't lose out on fun. Its a very capable transmission. In stock form its faster and shifts are ultra smooth on the paddles. The stick on th AT has a different behavior from the paddles. It shifts a little slower and the car has a retro jerky feel. I like it. It reminds me of the old days. When I need smoother more responsive shifts, I go to paddles. The auto is great in bad traffic. If you are in bad traffic often? The auto has more of an advantage to your quality of life. If it won't be your DD. The stick may have a more purist quality to your driving experience. I personally love the 7at though. Test drive em bro. Its the only way to be sure.
