Do you regret buying a 6AT sometimes.

I personally like 6MT and believe it or not I like it in the traffic as well. I just hate to keep my foot on brake all the time on a red light or in traffic in an auto tranny. |

I think with brand new model cars with a MT as a standard option like the BRZ we will see MT cars until they become illegal.

I would bet that there are more old people that know how to drive an MT than there are young people that know how to drive an MT.

I'll go ahead and let Car & Driver do the talking here for all ye that think the DCT is faster/better.

Listen, I bought an SMG M3 because I thought I could live with it. I absolutely couldn't - 8 months later I sold it. Test drove the newer DCT and realized, while improved from the SMG, I would still feel the same way. For me, and many others, there simply is no substitute. |

I think a good analogy would be fly-fishing vs rod and reel. Same idea except fly fishing is just cooler because it takes a skill and experience.
Or you can think about it this way. I'm just as fast as you in your car, but you can't even drive mine.(If you have an automatic and don't know how to drive stick). |

6MT here...no regrets whatsoever. However I'm not stuck in traffic all day everyday. Not sure if that would change my mind. Can't see myself driving Auto anymore.

Perhaps, but it beats being rude, ignorant and unskilled.

I hated seeing the 991 GT3 only offered with PDK. I think it should be a choice to shift on your own in whatever you drive (as far as sports/touring cars go).
That said, for the first time in many years, I am driving an auto. The only time I miss rowing is at the track. |

Yeah doubt it would make a real difference for me either. For me it's a few hours of stop and go traffic a week. Doesn't really affect me at all. Pretty much second nature.

The fact that I was going to be using the car in stop and go traffic would not deter me from purchasing an MT. The other side of the coin is that at this point in time I see no particular advantage to an MT. I understand that there are a lot of MT diehards and I would never attempt to convince them otherwise. IMO everyone should learn how to drive an MT. CA
