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.
