Awesome. That's what I'll be going with!

While I'd love to go with a manual, I have a car with a manual (STi) and while I like it a lot, there are times when I just don't feel like shifting. With the 7AT, I can shift when I feel like it, and don't have to shift if I don't. My wife has a 2009 Audi A3 2.0T Quattro with the DSG and that's a pretty decent transmission (I guess...). It's fun to snap off shifts when the urge arises, but if I'm just in "relax mode," I can just relax and drive.
