Do people actually enjoy using a clutch/manny or is that boomer flame?

Date: September 22nd, 2018 3:42 PM Author: Jade glittery place of business So many automatics let you downshift nowadays. Is doing it with the clutch a lot better than using a paddle or e-shift? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4084076&forum_id=2#36864094) |

Sensors that detect and determine shift points got a lot more sophisticated and can "learn" better when to shift depending on your use of throttle, etc. rather than just relying on basic fixed calculation from RPM, speed, and throttle position. You don't need to mash the gas pedal anymore and wait 2 seconds to get a downshift. |

Boomers love autos, millennials don’t drive. |

Date: September 22nd, 2018 3:55 PM Author: Heady parlor I drove a manual with clutch from my first car until I got a new one last year. I thought I'd miss it but I really don't. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4084076&forum_id=2#36864164) |

More annoying if you're frequently in gridlock traffic. For anyone talking up the auto-manuals, cite a particular example? It's not quite the same (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4084076&forum_id=2#36864397) |
