Many manual drivers find the extra level of engagement, well… engaging!"

Accomplishment from a perfect upshift? Come on man that's bs, Just being able to drive manual automatically makes me more skilled than the average driver plus girls like the stick anyway. It's a two door rwd sports car that's fuel efficient what's not to like.
