Well it'll be more rare and probably worth more down the roadSlower and worse gas mileage, yet I still want it ...
Maybe, maybe not. As a (fellow) GTI owner, you know that while nice, the manual option doesn’t always command a premium over the auto on the used market (at least in the short term). Who knows 20 years from now, though…probably worth more down the road
Yea I agree for the most partMaybe, maybe not. As a (fellow) GTI owner, you know that while nice, the manual option doesn’t always command a premium over the auto on the used market (at least in the short term). Who knows 20 years from now, though…
The ZF8 is such a stellar automatic transmission that I'm not itching to trade mine for a MT. I imagine that'll be a factor in the future value of these cars.Maybe, maybe not.

You beeech and moan and complain and confirm 1 thing. You go slower. Wow..................If YOU WANT to go slower get the BRZ/GT86 and feel connected LOL. The press beeeched about this, implied PURITY OF drive / connected etc. Bottom line. YOU GO SLOWER in all phases. Wanna be connected Mr Journalist = SUPER GLUE YOUR ASS TO THE CAR LOL.The 2023 Toyota GR Supra finally gets the transmission we've all pined for, and it seems like enough but not much more.
When I tell you this do listen. 70+% of original model M2 were sold here in Germany with DCT. In used market the price difference is nil. Nil. I gave up manuals completely after my 2017 M2 DCT. Superb driving and fun. Manual is just SLOWER. Have fun with the clutch useless and over priced maintenance and going slower. The press are idiots. They shame the Supra for being having BMW collaboration and praise the Evora for having the Toyota engine LOL.The ZF8 is such a stellar automatic transmission that I'm not itching to trade mine for a MT. I imagine that'll play a factor in the value of these cars in the future.
thanks for posting, they praise the engagement of the manual which is a key for me. Now if I could actually find one to order/buy...Another favorable review here:
