Sequential manual. So yes, semi auto in a way.

Defnitely NOT an auto. It's a manual gearbox with an electronically actuated clutch mechanism. It does have an 'automated mode' which has the computer changing gears but you still need to 'manually' lift off the throttle slighlty on up-changes.

You don't need to, just helps for passenger comfort

This may save the clutch from premature wear too.
