I test drove a car with a manual recently, not an M car but a "sportier car" that had a manual, I was not impressed. It felt so slow to shift.

My current car is a Golf R MK7.5 with the DSG and I really like that box. Except for the stupid kick down that drives me crazy on the track since it is active even in manual mode...

Can you turn off the kick down on the M2C?


Anyway, do I really want the manual? I don't really know anymore. I think in my head I imagine it is is going to give me some "magical experience" but in reality it might not. Haha, yeah real problems I have
in manual mode it won't do anything for you except prevent a stall and prevent a money shift.

In auto kick down does drop to lowest gear.


if you want to drop to lowest gear in manual mode hit kick down and down shift paddle at the same moment. That's the only time kick down does anything in manual, and it's almost impossible to do by accident.
