I test drove both manual and GET prior to buying my LCI. I have owned nothing but manual trans cars, but I bought the dct for two reasons. When cruising at 75-80, the manual seemed like it was revving close to 3K rpms. The DCT was a lot lower and quieter. Also, based on this the DAY gets much better fuel mileage.

You don't know how to drive the DCT. This is not surprising as it does take a little time. Ironically if you understand a manual transmission and how to drive one in order to balance the car it works incredibly well as a better manual than manual. If you go in expecting it to work like an auto then honestly, you are better off getting a manual or a different car entirely. If you are in a civilised part of Sydney I would be happy to show you. Once you get it, there's no way you'd buy a crappy hybrid manual that honestly does not suit a modern car. DM me. |

If you're keeping for a long time, 6mt. Manuals are going to be extinct with electric.

I wonder if someone in 50 years will start making EV with manual transmission? Sort of like vinyl records and film cameras are making a comeback these days... maybe some nostalgic folks at Tesla will make retro EV cars. After all, car industry loves nostalgia. Look at all the Mustangs, Cameros and other retro-modern cars out there. |

Congrats and enjoy. I’m looking forward to having a 2022 Camaro or something in 25 years. Must be NA V8 to be a classic.

Don't know how to drive a DCT? You have to be joking. Leave it in D, done. And don't try to tell me pulling a lever is an involving experience. I mean they make it seem tough in Video Games to get the shift at just right RPM but c'mon man.

I, for one, appreciate and value members taking their time posting comments in response to my original post. I don't mind if commenters agree or disagree with me. I figured that's why we hang out on a forum and choose to participate in conversations. If we all agreed, that would make a boring discussion.
Original Poster 'I think the Hockenheim Silver is the best colour on M2C.' 2nd Poster 'I agree' 3rd Poster 'I agree as well.' 4th Poster 'For sure' 5th Poster 'Yep' Let's welcome and celebrate diversity. |
