I guess what I’m saying is “been there, done that”. I TOTALLY get why today’s yute wants a manual. I’m just thinking I’m getting to be that age...

Back in the day when I walked 4 miles to school, in the snow, uphill, both ways, a manual was really all you had. Unless you wanted a slush box, which really was that bad!

I still have fond memories of my 1980 ZX with a five speed and I can’t really believe I’m thinking of crossing over to the dark side, but...

PS: Get off my lawn!!!
I sold my 6 speed 370 for an 8 speed Auto Genny Coupe after 10 months; I never saw 4th gear in it unless I was going somewhere off the grid in South Florida. Traffic is TERRIBLE. The old lady got a DCT in her Turbo Veloster, had high hopes for a DCT in the Z35. DCT is AMAZING.
