Oh, I can absolutely crap on it, because manual transmission snobbery was what we were bugging you about in the first place.
I know what an automatic feels like. Some of them are better than others, some of them have better paddles, some require you to use the paddles and won't auto-shift. It's still not a manual. Here's how you can tell: does it have a third pedal and a gear shift stick? If not, it's not a manual. [manual snobbery]And it is therefore
objectively, inherently inferior.[/manual snobbery]
It always strikes me as telling the way that marketing departments try to name their non-manual transmissions in a way that makes them sound like a stick shift. "Auto-shift manual" or "sequential manual" or "powershift manual" or "intelligent manual" or whatever. Either just buy a real manual, or stop lying to yourselves and embrace what you're actually driving. Which, in your case, is an exceptionally beautiful vehicle.
