Aren't you glad you got an 6MT?

GBPackerfan1963 · 07-19-2014, 05:45 PM

Yes. Don't need to worry about a "klunk"
No. DCT benefits will outweigh the "klunk"

My disclaimer. This poll is tongue-in-cheek.

damnitBobby · 07-19-2014, 06:59 PM

it's not really the "klunk" i'd be worried about in the dct, it would be the ensuing boredom of having the car shift itself

gthal · 07-19-2014, 09:38 PM

I like klunks

This is going to end badly... tongue, cheek and all...

Questioning a car enthusiasts choice of transmission is almost the same as making a derogatory comment about their Momma!!!

BoostedTerp · 07-19-2014, 09:45 PM

In my case...I don't care how much faster a DCT is. I love the involvement and act of shifting. This 6MT is outstanding as well.

Life without manual is like sex without orgasm: you're having fun, it feels great but there's really something missing in the end!!!

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!

CRtoE92 · 07-19-2014, 11:02 PM

I kinda regret because i could possibly claim for lemon and get all my money back during the lease. Im being serious

Then don't let the car shift itself...very simple.

Someone's gonna create similar post as soon as any problem is discovered with manual trans.

Do it parky, I have the perfect analogy ready, and just waiting for this!

No coffee for 8 days, not really, and now drinking a beer. As a disclaimer this is solid.

:P you know it's true @Lups ie haha it has happened to you

ChrisMT79 · 07-20-2014, 08:52 AM

The last time I entered and responded to a thread about the DCT did not bode particularly well for me

So I will simply say, yes I'm happy with my decision.

If you're getting bored in a DCT you obviously aren't driving the car hard enough.....

That is the problem with DCT you have to drive the car illegal speeds to have fun.

Powaup · 07-20-2014, 02:16 PM

So far, while in Europe yes, but the real test will be during rush hour traffic during my daily commute

kind of hard to do that driving to work at 7:30 am when there are shitload of prius' drivers around you driving at 45-50mph.

I'll agree, when you do drive it hard and to the limit, it's fun... but that's once a month... if that.
