Autoblip is perhaps the most obnoxious "feature" you could possibly put into a 6MT. It encourages poor driving while taking control from the driver. Something that really has no place on the street. It was developed by marketing folks (probably at GM) who wanted to sell their cars to people who are afraid to drive manual transmissions. Fortunately, it's not becoming popular in the industry because most people don't need it and find it offensive to drive. I've been instructing and coaching drivers for last 10 years and I would rather tell someone to not learn heel-toe braking than to learn it with auto blip.

Phew... that felt good
