At the end of the day neither groups will see the others point of view as its stands the auto people enjoy that crazy amount of drivers feel they get from flicking a paddle and the manual people love the act of being in control, the speed they shift at the way the clutch is engaged and the tecnique involved in rev matching and heel toeing and the higher amount of "technicality and involvement driving a manual car requires"
So does driving a manual car make the driver much more involved and engaged with the car flat out yes it does. It requires more skill and precision to accomplish the same thing as a auto/dsg car of equivalent nature.:happy0180:
thats my 2cents love it or hate it but it is the truth.
