that really surprises me, thought Porsche had a very good reputation for their manual set up?

Ive never had the pleasure myself but going from reviews etc....

I think the pleasure I get from manual downshifts, the challenge of learning the car with rev matching etc.
Now dont get me wrong if I had more than one car, I could live with an auto or dual clutch for commuting but for a performance car, it just seems part of the fun for me.

I had a demo GTI '08 plate for a few days and that had fantastic set up. But the BMW snatchy clutch to shame

To go back on topic, if I bought an S5 or similar car, I think I would rather a manual. Plus living in london, how the hell can you parallel park a semi auto
