Interesting reading on the tranny development here:

Disclosure: I have a 2017 AT. Bought it against my wishes because I'm in so damn much start-stop traffic every day.

The AT gets a bad rap around here. I mean it's understandable; this is an enthusiast site. But the transmission is great. The flappy paddles are snappy. Fake stick mode is responsive and I love it.

Do I wish my situation allowed me a MT? Yes. Do I still love my AT car? Absolutely.
