Also, the debate about the transmission is valid. This is your first car and it's an automatic. You have no idea WHY people choose the 6MT over the M-DCT.
At 16 you won't get discounted bcause you don't know what you're talking about, well not entirely. Your post is well-written and you seem to have a genuine love of cars. You, howver, will get discounted at 16 because you don't have the driving experience and enough time behing the wheel of ANY car to be able to tell anyone which is a "better" transmission. Yes, the M-DCT is faster, but it's also cold. It removes some of the connection for me and many others. I do agree that if you're looking for the fastest way around a track then the M-DCT is the best option.

LOL!
But Marco didn't grow up in Ontario and didn't have to deal with the graduated licensing that exists there.
You can get your license at 16, but are only allowed to drive if you have someone in the passenger seat that has had their full license for a minimum of 4 years.
Either the kid is full of it or his parents are epic fail for buying a kid with zero driving experience a +400 hp, $80K car that he can't drive on his own.
