Yup, pretty much how you described it - I like being able to just have the car in D when I'm just running errands or the usual drive to work, and then being able to put it in M mode when I want to play. The tiptronic and paddleshifters respond quickly, and it's great to feel the car pulling hard then launching it to the next gear!

But - go for another test drive before you decide. Put both 6M and 7AT models through their paces, then get the one you like best.
