There is now no longer any objective reason to use a manual car anymore.
Why?
DUAL CLUTCH AUTOMATICS BABYYYYYYYY
>Why???? How is my Manuel tranny worse than that???? It's simple, you can change your gears manually OR automatically, AND it is all done in mere millisconds from input. Saving you GAS and putting more POWER onto the wheels FASTER!
>m-m-muh feels! I want to give my Manuel a handjob everytime i get in my car! You can SWITCH GEARS whenever in a DCT too! You will find a DCT is SO MUCH BETTER than a Manuel, and lets say you give your boyfriend Bruce too heavy of a handie and you sprain your wrist, you can let the DCT do ALL THE WORK for you! It's TECHNOLOGY.
>m-m-muh weight! IT DOESNT MATTER IN THE SLIGHTEST! The amount of power conserved by the HIGHLY EFFICIENT GEAR CHANGES makes the car FASTER THAN A MANUAL! Look at the 0-60 of a modern Porsche 911 Carrera S in Manuel! ONLY 4.1 SECONDS, but when you slap a DCT on it, IT'S 3.7 SECONDS! ITS FREE POWER!

You still have yet to refute why a Manuel is better than a SUPERIOR DCT
Zachary Davis
I like the feeling of a traditional manual transmission. It's entirely my personal preference.
Parker Bennett
Have they made a DCT that doesn't shit itself in under 100k yet?
Nicholas Gomez
Being the only adult here who can reply as such: PREFERENCE People like the feel of manuals just like you might like the aesthetics of a certain brand of car. There's also a large market for manual cars so there's that too.
Even though it is AUTOMATIC it's basically a MANUAL so TAKE CARE OF IT and it will LAST A LIFETIME
Landon Clark
i have yet to meat any sort of automated transmission that will hold a gear while coasting downhill for several miles non stop.
I can go down a mountain in a manual car by just leaving it in 2nd or 3rd. Never touch the brakes or gas.
Gabriel Ward
Manual: you switch gears DCT: you tell the transmission when to shift

Matthew Price
And THE COMPUTER shifts FASTER and with MUCH LESS room for HUMAN ERROR
Joseph Carter
when my clutch goes out I can change it in my driveway. I can drop the clutch and do a burn out, clutch kicks, push start. the feeling when you execute a textbook heel toe. theft prevention. having the ability to drive any vehicle.
not paying $1000 extra for an electronic nanny to do what I can do effortlessly.
Liam Ross
I like shifting the gears though.
Jace Perry
BREATHING MAY BE NECCESARY FOR LIFE BUT SOMTIMES AIR SMELLS
MOUTH BREATHERS ON SUICIDE WATCH
Samuel Martin
you can SHIFT in a DCT with the PADDLES or the STICK It takes you 800-1000 MILLISECONDS to shit a gear if you are EXPERIENCED, DCTs only take 8 MILLISECONDS
It doesn't BABY you, it IMPROVES YOU
Why are you guys afraid of FREE POWER
Brandon Evans
But I like doing burnouts
Brayden Hernandez
In supercars, maybe. Ford's powershi(f)t DCTs are crap.
Austin Barnes
kek CVT for the win
Jason Johnson
enjoy NOTORQUE
Camden Lewis
who makes a decent one? NOT nissan thats for sure
Jack Davis
>There is now no longer any objective reason to use a manual car anymore. maintenance costs
Most DCTs are sealed units with limited service life.
A manual transmission will always be cheaper to fix.
Andrew Foster
wait for it m8 :)
Easton Green
best is using electricity. like a Volt. thats right, no actual transmission, pure electric. as an engineering perspective its the best by far.
hey it works on trains
Dylan Flores
>muh efficiency! Lol yea that will make them flock to auto...
Joshua Hughes
lol, not likely.
My damn Yaris accelerates better than my B250.
CVT ruins a car.
Asher Taylor
TESLA did something right but you can go more than 200 MILES per OVERNIGHT CHARGE on a COMBUSTION ENGINE with a DCT When you have a PROPER JOB and are DECENT AT ALL with MONEY it DOESNT MATTER
Brody Jenkins
If this tech were developed for cars more it would be pretty good. You have a gas/diesel/whatever fuel piston/rotary/turbine engine charging batteries or capacitors and running the electric motor(s), so when you want to get spirited you can run off the generator and the stored charge for extra power and not run it out in one or two laps of a track like even high end electric cars.
Jackson Morgan
>when you lease it for three years and then throw it away it doesn't matter Ftfy
Carter Johnson
Too long/didn't read, and overuse of caps
This is "LOL X BTFO!" tier posting.
Ayden Mitchell
Man this is true. I have had stick since I was 18. My last two cars were stick - a 06 GT and a 08 Boxster S. I drive a 07 911 Turbo with PDK dual clutch and you can NEVER shift this fast. Porsche manuals in general are probably the most refined stick shifts in the world so I have that to compare to. I regret not getting a manual due to simple fun and lower makntaince cost but DCT is a rocketship compared to stick hands down.
Aaron Perez
This is only true if your car cost over like $45,000
Economy grade DCTs are garbage and programmed terribly.
Parker Morales
Manuelfags CONFIRMED ADHD
Brandon Wilson
Yeah.. the DCT in a $100,000 car.
Not in OP's brz.
Cooper James
And since I'm not in a numbers war with other manufacturers, a bench racer or in the automotive press, a few milliseconds doesn't matter. The feel behind the wheel does. I'm sorry you can't enjoy that, driving a manual well is a good feeling..
Charles Foster
very true, the only problem is the engine pretty much needs to run at just one efficient rpm, making it not seem sporty. i can live with it, but some people might dislike it. ON paper its easily the least compromised. least moving parts, easiest to maintain
Adam Turner
how bad is the one in the gti?
Jason Murphy
I've never cared for stick shift cars. They just aren't my thing.
I like to zip around and move when I want to move. With manual you have to re-engage 1st gear every time you stop. And doing that probably takes me a good 3-5 seconds. With auto you just step on it and you're gone.
You can also tell when you're behind somebody with a manual car because in the time it takes them to engage the gear and start accelerating, everybody in front of them is already gone. And every time you want to upshift you have to let off the gas, clutch in, shift, and reengage the next gear, causing you to slow down and possibly disrupt traffic behind you. Not to mention trying to start on hills and whatnot.
Manuals just seem so antiquated. They feel slower and less responsive compared to modern-day automatics. I don't understand the fascination behind them, automatics take only a fraction of a second to upshift whereas a manual takes like 2-4 seconds to upshift (depending on experience or skill level, of course).
Even though you have more "control" over which gear you want to be in, it still takes longer to shift and engage the gear than it would in an automatic. Most modern automatics are also pretty intuitive and are able to sense what you're trying to do depending on throttle input and the speed at which the throttle is applied.
Whenever people talk about how much they enjoy manual, I don't understand why. It's kind of a pain in the ass to do all that work to get moving and the guy next to you in the automatic is already gone. Like, why would you row a boat when you could get one with a motor on the back for the same price.
What makes a manual car enjoyable? I guess some people just like having something that keeps them focused on the task of driving, but that's really the only angle that I can understand. Maybe some people also think it makes them look "tough", or like they are a professional driver, but speaking from my experience manuals seem like a big pain in the ass.

SEE It's MORE EFFORT for LESS REWARD
If you STILL THINK it """""""FEELS"""""""""" better you have STOCKHOLM SYNDROME

Its been less than 2 days since i saw this pasta.
Anthony Hall
and it's ENTIRELY OBJECTIVELY TRUE
Bentley Ramirez
DCT heat up faster and can't skip gears
Noah Harris
DCT a shit
manual for the rest of my days
Tyler Evans
You can go through the ENTIRE GEARBOX faster than you can DOWNSHIFT 4-2

>>m-m-muh weight! >IT DOESNT MATTER IN THE SLIGHTEST! The amount of power conserved by the HIGHLY EFFICIENT GEAR CHANGES makes the car FASTER THAN A MANUAL!

Yet in affordable cars like the Ford Fiesta or Focus, DCT variants are still slower than their manual counterparts due to a lack of torque and lacking the ability to launch closer to peak torque.
So for the common man manual is still better. Not to mention it's more involving, and cheaper to service.
Gavin Walker
No you can't.
Dominic Taylor

Samuel Campbell
>i can't move gears
Cameron Wright
8x7= 56 MILLISECONDS

>it takes OP 1 second to shift
Aaron Jenkins
If it takes anyone on this earth 3-5 seconds to drop from 4 to 2 then they can't drive
No you don't have to hit third gear first.
Jason Rogers
I finally taught my wife's son manual guys.
Feels good desu.
Gavin Reyes
Was little Tyrone a fast learner?
Carson Flores
DCT Is faster Manual is dinner.
Look I solved the problem get over it everyone fuck off cunt or I'll cut ya Centrelink payments you dog cunts
Brayden Diaz
Some of the modern dcts can do a double downshift IE go from 6th straight to 4th. I know the dct on the rs5 can do that.
Every dct I've ever owned was able to hold a gear going down a hill. Sometimes you had to put it in manual mode to get that behavior but on most high end modern dcts it will do that now in auto mode.
The big issue I have with dcts is the cost of ownership. The fluid for those transmissions still costs an arm and leg at anywhere between $30 to $100 a quart. It's also very hard to find any shops that will work on them because most of the time you can't get the internal parts for them.
Logan King
>There is now no longer any objective reason to use a manual car anymore.
My wife put you up to writing this, right?
Sorry, hon. My next Porsche is going to be a stick with a clutch, just like the last one. And if you can't figure that out, just drive your Prius.
Christopher Hernandez
If it takes you more than 1 second to shift from neutral to 1st when you pull away, you must be a paraplegic or just have shitty reaction times.
