I agree with Eric on this one, and the stop-and-go argument cuts both ways, since neither DCT nor 6MT is fun to drive in traffic. Not a good argument to make, you know that traffic driving isn’t the purpose of this thread.
Objectively speaking, in 99% of driving scenarios, manual is more fun because it’s more engaging for the brain and body.
IMO Driving enjoyment comes from engagement, which is 99% of the experience. The outcome is the end, winning or losing impacts ego (that 1% of the experience).
You can’t tell me the actual act of tapping a paddle is more fun than rowing through the gears and using the clutch.
I’m am a DCT owner and both my manual 99 M3 and 13 M3 were more enjoyable to drive than the CS.
