i've always been in the 6MT camp, but after driving this car on pristine german and austrian tarmac, there is no question my driving enjoyment is greater with the DCT. no matter what your 6MT skill level, DCT is better; it is faster - coming into switchbacks, mashing the brake, seamlessly downshifting and immediately getting back on the gas. that in my opinion is how this car is meant to be driven. fast and hard. and faster is always better. if you don't think so, why bother getting a 560hp car? and guess what, when you don't want hard, you can tame it down with DCT. can't really drive a 6MT tamely.
