It won't let you mess it up by shifting at the wrong time.
It's THE BEST auto I have ever driven, but it's still an auto, no dual clutch, no clutch, no nothing like Chuck said

And the Auto, if left to its own devices offers better MPG than the manual


it ain't a slush box though, I love it
Dart, FPenvy, 2xtreme1 and 3 others like this.
