Paddles are for boats.

With a gear box like ours this discussion should be considered blasphemy.

I would have said no until I drove the Audi A3 DSG. It takes some getting use to but it will be faster than an MT in the same car. I mean you get milliseconds shifts up and down and no danger of missing a shift and blowing the engine.

you heard someone?

of course everyone know someone somewhere


the thing about SMG/dsg/etc is not that it performs bad at stock power, but as soon as you throw in alot of pepper under the hood, it will not know what to do. you need to find a tuner that make the double clutch and all the computer talk to each other or it will make your driving experience going south.

not to mention the weight and all, it fits more on a power luxury cruiser(gt car) than a lightweight na car

it's nice to hear so many people are for true manual boxes. i'm hoping in 20 years manuals aren't abolished.

If it came with a 12k redline and a power band above 10k, and sparks shot out the back on a redline shift, then sure.

if it were available i would have a hard choice but how cool would it be if the S had a true paddle shift tranny like a F1 car.
