Just commenting on what I quoted, this being just my opinion. That's a little closed minded to assume that anyone who bought the auto is a teenager buying the car for looks, from what im reading aren't you also a teenager? I don't know many uninformed teenagers who bought this car at all, not saying there isn't any. Majority of the people I see in these cars bought them as a project and are true gearheads looking for a good drivers car. I bought the auto, not because I cant drive a standard trans, but after test driving both, I preferred the paddles, theyre far better than the bad impression given to people 10 years ago on other cars where they weren't so good. Its fun when I want, and I can just leave it in auto with all assist on when im doing my daily commute in the city. If I were buying this purely as a weekend toy/track car, I would have wanted the stick.


Just trying to give you a little insight before you make assumptions like that. Theres quite a few people on this forum who bought the auto because they enjoyed the paddles.
Sorry about that, that's very much true. I guess coming from the Honda scene I really appreciated that the s2000's, and Civic SI's only came in manual , thus anyone who wanted a sports car of Honda's really had one choice which was to learn manual. As a business major I really appreciated this because it primarily marketed it towards people in the car enthusiast scene. But yeah I get what your saying (: I heard the GTI dual clutch transmission is spot on amazing haha
