This set up may actually increase the relative 6MT take rate unless the car is hamstrung in some other way.
And this is my worry about the AT. I want to replace my current EV which is perfectly fine but has zero in terms of the emotion department for me. The question is if I should go in the completely opposite direction with the 6MT or take the AT, which will still be worlds different/better from an EV. I don't really care about the additional power or straight-line acceleration of the Comp. I want to enjoy driving again. But I also want to learn how to track and I'm not sure I can handle a manual. Maybe I should get the M2 DCT huh?
