Manually shifting gears is no more a part of the experience of driving as pumping the brakes is when you stop, or any other feature of the car that's been made automated over the years. If you like being forced to manually shift your car 100% of the time then more power to you, but having an automatic doesn't take away from the driving experience for those of us who could care less about having to shift the car ourselves all the time. I know I've never once felt oh, this car is no fun because I'm not constantly having to depress a clutch all the time.

traditionally "true" sports cars have always had manual transmissions
because of the ability to offer 100% "control" over the driving performance
if you "enjoy" the "convenience" of an automatic transmission,then you should be offered that option.
