I've meen a MT guy since my driver's permit 31 years ago and this is the first non-MT car I've ever owned. I test drove both extensively and went DCT and have zero regrets. It just fits this engine and car so well and is sooooo good at what it does. I had people telling me I would get lazy and let the car shift for itself and 13 months later I am still using the paddles every time I drive it.
Now, what to do about that reflexive pressing of my left leg into the firewall...  |
The few and the proud.
I can understand why someone would flap those paddles if they are tracking the car, but as a daily driver...just leave it in automatic mode.
