I don't really see the point of this. It's just adding complexity for the sake of it. As far as I can tell when you change gear it just changes some software parameters, there are no physical gears. Yet there's a clutch and the ability to stall?

If you don't enjoy the sport of driving, you probably don't want a manual.

I'm interested in this. I feel like driving is a more connected experience with a manual and always prefer it. But that's what it is: a preference.

It's not very often people express that what they think isn't absolutely the only opinion people should have and just wanted to say I appreciate that you're willing to admit that.
