Forum newbie - looking for advice between MT and AT

JACKPAC · 03-10-2010, 12:41 PM

You really need to drive them both, preferably back to back. I started off saying I would never buy an auto and was only looking at the 6M, but was "forced" to drive the auto as well, due to it being the only sport on the lot and I wanted to test out the sport package. Well after that day, I'm now only looking for 7AT- I was that impressed. Also, just my opinion, I didn't like the clutch on the manual. This is after being used to my short-shifting, no effort 6M on my Acura RSX type-S (which probably didn't help). You will really only know which is best for you after driving both. I have driven DCT's from both AUDI and BMW and although the new DCT from BMW is faster than that of the Z's 7AT, I thought the Z was quicker (subjective) than the AUDI dual clutch.
