I'm surprised you didn't mind the automatic though. I found it to be a big pain in the ***, mainly with it not down shifting on acceleration. Many times when I'd step on the gas and it just crawled away, and I noticed it didn't downshift and I had to manually shift down. After my first two sessions I just kept it in manual, and will continue to do so. It worked pretty much flawlessly that way (although I did get the occasionally downshifting delay).
I may have a heavier foot. When I wanted to go I floored it. There was a lag of way less than a second and the car downshifted and stayed in the lower gear until redline. It never failed to downshift and was very responsive. It was a very pleasant surprise.
