The only thing manual does for me in the attention span sector is help me from falling asleep, but that's more of a personal problem.

Not to start a pissing match here, but I'm sorry, arguing about a manual being better is about making yourself feel better, more superior or more important.
I have absolutely no problem with someone preferring a manual. That is simply a choice. As is someone preferring or being happy with an automatic. I will end this by simply saying that F1 cars are automatics

I read somewhere that 3 out of 4 of the GT86s bought are automatic, which is crazy to me. In my opinion if you get this car in auto it defeats the point.

And what point is that? It's a light RWD sports car with great handling and classic looks? None of that requires a MT.

I highly doubt that people are shifting as much as they seem to think they are.

If you're on surface streets you can easily skip shift 1, 2 -> 4 (or 1 ->3, 4) . Personally, on level streets I shift to 6 at 40mph and it does just fine. At the least I'd be in 5th at 40 if I needed a little more torque and it doesn't lug the motor at all. So from a stop I'd do 1, 2 ->4 ->6.
As far as downshifting goes, brake pads are cheaper than clutches and synchros. Clutch-in and brake. Look at that, just reduced your shifting by like 80%. |
