If I were to choose the car again, I would take either 6MT or DCT equally nowadays. The 6MT is more involving but to be honest, it's not the best 6MT and although it doesnt ruin the experience as a whole, it's the weakest part of the car IMO. (I might get SSK to try and remedy). The DCT is quite good when I testdrove; much quicker than I can shift, and almost* as much fun.
Yes, I am wondering if I will miss having a traditional manual. Automatics bore me as a rule, and I only buy them in trucks. But the DCT seems worth a shot and I know I certainly can not shift as fast as it can.
