Lag in paddle shifters? The auto in this car shifts faster than your manual lol. BTW I have tracked the auto and it does not lag at all. Shifts when you want it to.

With that being said, and not being a complete ****wad like some others on here vouching for a manual, I believe for your case it could go either way.

Honestly the auto is a beautiful piece of work with one major setback. It cant launch from a dead stop. A 5-60 run with an auto and manual puts them even.

If you are doing 0-60 runs on the street and putting others at risk on a daily basis then by all means get the manual for that one performance benefit. But from what you are saying, you are not looking for that.

You need to drive both to find out.

Then there is that whole feeling one with the car thing.
