With the exception of an EV I leased for 3 years I've driven nothing but manual cars for about 25 years. Even in traffic is so natural for me that it's no inconvenience. I drove a few DCT cars but simply didn't like them. Then I drove an M3 with three DCT and the combination suddenly made sense. Something about the power and higher revving nature of the M3 made it a perfect fit while it simply didn't feel right to me in the 135i and 335iS I'd driven before.
After that experience I decided that my M4 would be a DCT. It works for me day-to day and of course is faster on track as well. As long as I have another traditional manual car to get my fix when I want it I'm very happy with the DCT.
