And he got satisfaction knowing HE was responsible for wrecking the gearbox and it wasn't being done on his behalf.

At least a wrecked manual box won't cost as much to repair / replace as an auto. See another plus for the manual!

Yeh autos have paddle shift (my model does 3.0si coupe) Cant comment on other auto’s sure there’s a mix of engines/gearbox set ups….
Just to get back on the matter - 2/3 months in to an auto and absolutely I love with the thing….
don’t get me wrong there is that split second auto lag but what comes next makes up for it….
Not the most responsive/best driving machine in the world but the looks make up for any imperfections…..
Dream car - long time coming and hasn’t disappointed yet….

With the sports button pressed, my car really is responsive, I don't want for more.
