How is the DCT? I've been floating around either getting a manual or auto.
I get the feeling I am the only person in the world that doesn't mind a MT in traffic.
I don't mind it either, but I've been driving manuals for a couple decades so I don't even notice. I also take the bus most of the time, so I really don't notice! Lol. But even when I drive in traffic, the manual really doesn't bother me, it's like breathing, you don't notice you're doing it unless you focus on it.
I strayed from manuals on my last car, a Camry V6, and I really didn't like it. Yeah, it was easier in traffic, but the car basically drove itself, I may as well have been on the bus. It was super boring. The DCTs are better than torque converter autos, but still prefer a 3rd pedal to paddle shifters and DCTs are relatively unproven vs. a manual.
As long as I can physically drive manuals and they're offered in cars I want and can afford, I will always pick the manual. I don't care if the DCTs are faster. My stock Camry V6 was faster than most of the modded Elantra Sports in here, but it was boring compared to the Elantra Sport manual.
Most people nowadays can't even drive manuals, so if you can drive one, and you're still on the fence....GET THE MANUAL while you can. We're heading towards self driving cars, an automatic is just one step closer, and I'm holding out as long as I can.
