The AT in this car doesn't detract from the fun you can have with it. The only thing you really can't do is 5000 RPM clutch drops. It's a very flexible platform. You can drive in Toyota Camry mode, go full manual and turn the nannies off, or leave it in auto but turn sport mode on; and you can shift with either the paddle shifters or the floor shifter, or you can downshift with the paddle shifter and upshift with the floor shifter, etc. It's really very flexible. I use multiple modes during my commute through Los Angeles each day. If you feel you have to "do" something with your right hand all the time, just keep it in manual mode all the time and use the floor shifter all the time to upshift and downshift.
