Seriously, in a few years most people's commuter cars will probably be driverless anyway. Taken to an extreme, can be programmed to go around a track faster than any human can.....it's a slippery slope and hopefully we won't completely succumb to robo-world!

I buy what I buy so that I can enjoy driving at legal or near legal speeds, while I get to where I need to be. To that end, a 6mt provides an experience that a DCT never can.


The only time I dislike driving a manual is when driving in traffic. But, buying any M to drive in traffic is like buying Bulgogi beef and cooking it well done. You've totally missed the point. If traffic becomes a problem, I avoid the traffic.
