Honestly they all have pros and cons. Not sure what your traffic is like in the UK but if it’s anything like the busier cities here then personally I would take the 7at (as I did). The up shifts are fast (arguably faster than a manual) the downshifts can be a little slow but not noticeable when actually spirit driving. The manual and dct will suffer in traffic but that’s about it. The 7at and dct’s do also have the benefit of not allowing mis shifts.

The 7at in auto mode will feel like a basic auto though. So depends what your after, for me it’s perfect since the car plays double duty as dd and track car so I have all the regular bolt ons with stillen exhaust that is quiet at cruising but loud enough on throttle accompanied by the 7at which is smooth at cruise yet aggressive and fast enough when tracking.
