It may be the best damn slushbox AT in the world, but it's still got a torque converter, masking that by calling it "e-shift" or "flappy paddles" only serves to stroke someone's ego with falsehoods.

tl;dr buy what makes you happy.

And if you want a true flappy paddle gearbox buy a Golf.
Or a PDK 911 that thing shifts insanely fast
