Try one, you are not really in control, it is like driving an automatic where you always have to use the sport mode
That said the DCT feel is NOTHING like the above, you do get the feeling of driving race car ) I've only test drove the DCT M3 and drove my friends DCT M5 on a numerous occasions and the shift feel alone brings a smile to my face every time I press that paddle shifter AND it is faster and afterall I still picked a manual.
