I drive the CS exclusively in manual mode, regardless of what I'm doing or where I'm going. I feel like many of the comments relating to the DCT vs the ZF are presuming they're both in auto mode. Being that I enjoy driving exclusively in manual mode, would I be disappointed enough in the ZF to just get the manual instead? I never thought I'd like a DCT over a manual, and I'm still not sure I do, but man do I really enjoy the implementation in CS. So sharp and crisp.
The ZF doesn't ruin the car but it's not a DCT. It wasn't my biggest complaint with the G80 but it made the list.

You can live with it if you love the rest of the car but it's not a highlight like the DCT is.
