Too few people these days understand the delicious sensation you get when coming round a bend, dropping the clutch, shifting gears, and feeling the whoosh of power that results from a mechanical interaction between your body and a machine.
- harkinian 3y agoI agree with traditional slushbox automatics. You don't get that distinct gear shift feeling, so it's boring. But DCT seems closer to the manual feeling. Cannot confirm since I've never driven one, but it felt that way as a passenger.
- tekla 3y agoI say the same thing about Electric Cars. Being able to effortlessly press someone back into their seat on a open empty road while hearing the whine of the electric motors is incredibly fun, so much more so that manual cars.

Plus, a tuned Golf R/STI/Evo can throw people in their seats effortlessly too, and rolling antilag will always sound cool.
- tekla 3y agoWho cares? Years of skill rendered irrelevant by pedal to the metal hmmmmmmmmmmmm/
