Stick?

[miotas]

Well, if it's all about which system gives you better acceleration, I was under the impression that sequential manual transmission was the real deal. No clutch for your left foot, I'm afraid, so the whole ritual of clutch-and-shift is out the window. And that's only available on actual racing cars and a few imports.

May be a touch out of my price range, plus i like the feel of a nice clutch.

I must say, however, that my used six-cylinder sedan with its German automatic tranny does just fine in the acceleration department. The only benefit I would have had from going with the manual would be an extra mile per gallon, and my wife's inability to drive it.

Although a car with good acceleration will be good regardless of the transmission, it will always be improved by a manual.

It always seems strange to me in movies when the protagonist jumps in a powerful car and then slams the car into ...... drive......?!?!?!?

DSG = best of both worlds....

the manual option is still seqential unfortunately
