DCT is just a bore.
Isn't the point that it is faster (when it works) and that unless you really know how to heel-and-toe, it does stuff better (again, when it works)?

I can drive stick, and I thought I was pretty good at it. I learned on steep mountains, and until now, I have driven automatic only when renting a car. I don't know how to heel-and-toe, and I realize this means maybe I wasn't so good at it after all. I would love to learn, but the reason I can afford this car is the reason I will never have time to be really good at it. I assume that this would matter only if I do stuff I shouldn't be doing on the street. But if I have time for that, I would prefer to drive the car fast without worrying about losing stability because I can't shift correctly.

[Edit: Yes, I know that DCT is not an automatic.]
