Lol, above anything, i still being a car enthusiast.
I like them too! :D
You see, automatic cars really are better in traffic jams and so on, they're more chill and less trouble, but the thing is... that's the only and exclusivelly way that they're better, which means, when you're not driving. lol Not better, as better, but better as fun, as enjoying the car. At least to me. And to me, sequential doesn't help in anything either.
I drove this car, which had automatic + sequential. No paddle shifts though, but sequential, that i could choose and everything...
I know that's not a sports car and anything, so i won't judge that, but, while driving it, it was a really good car and comfortable... i switched to the sequential to test it... and felt like playing a videogame, if you understand me... push that stick, done, new gear... i don't have to do anything with my feet... so, felt like pressing a button.
Since then i've made up my mind, i won't buy an automatic car unless i HAVE to. :lol: Manual in traffic is a pain? Yes, but that's a price i have to pay by making such choice. lol
