Hi,

I know people have said drive them and see which you like. Haven driven both, both are useable and you can get used to both. I am interested in those that drive the car regularly what they think, what made them go for one or the other, clutch wear, what you think in traffic, hills, etc etc

Views most welcome.

Thanks as usual.

I have to say I am edging towards that decision hence the question.

I like the idea of the paddles, the whole romance and theatre of it. But I do just wonder if they are more hassle than they are worth in the UK with our road conditions and traffic.

When I drove either, it was different and you had to have different considerations when driving however they were easy to get head round and could be used.

In traffic, trying to park, ease of use, cost, wear on the clutch, things that can go wrong I am thinking the manual would be a lot better.

Any sportshift drivers care to give their views? smile
