Nobody is doing manual transmissions any more.
On the one hand I really miss it. With a small turbo especially, it's great to drop a gear and pre-spool the turbo.
On the other hand, a fast shifting paddle is just as good when you need it. I keep the SL in S+ pretty much all the time. I expected with 3 shift modes (C, S, S+) that I'd be in S on the street, and S+ was pretty much track specific, but that's just not the case. In S+, the car's pretty much ready to play whenever I am.
