First time in this thread I agree with you.

Paddle shift may not be as fun, but it is a helkl of a lot cleaner and makes for better timed shifts once your used to it.

Artificial inseminations a heck of a lot cleaner than sex too but I doubt you'd wanna give that up

Only if he actually buys it with the wrong transmission.

Today's clutches are all hydraulic. Super easy on the leg. The high effort days of a manual are past. They're very well behaved, and not much of a chore, even in traffic.

So I'm looking at Mazda 3 iSport, Misubishi Lancer GTS, and Mustang V6. And you would say the Maz has more road feel than the Mustang?

Because its doing the work for you. Yes its ultra fast, and removes the human error aspect. And its much easier in traffic. But it gets boring after awhile. The SRT8 had tiptronic stick. It was cool because you could let the engine rev out so much higher and make that hemi sing. But it just kinda got blah after awhile.

So you would give up having sex with a super hot model that knows how to work your shaft and thus make you cum faster to be with an ugoh that can't work the shaft as well?

It all gets boring after awhile. That's why we have shit like motorcycles/airplanes/sky diving/hang gliders/bungee jumping/base jumping/helicopters.

If you want to be a fucking purist, sell your fucking car and walk. Cars aren't exactly old tech and part of the soul of being human. Walking is, do that shit. Otherwise, technology will continue to bypass shit. Manuals will go away eventually. Stop being snobbish pricks and let people drive what they want.

That's the second or third time you've said that, but the people who like stick don't give a shit if paddles are faster. They still want stick.

Jeez, talk about "let people drive what they want"

And the people who want automatic still want fucking automatic even if manual is more powerful/efficient. See where this is going...

Weird cars to cross-shop, but anyways...

Mazdas are known for good steering. Them along with Subaru and of course all the German manufacturers.

Honda, Toyota, and the Big Three numb out the steering feel because they think people don't want it.
