With a clutch delay valve, auto blips, a hill hold function and auto rev in first, how manual is it, in reality?

Irl you say the difference is 95lbs(43.1kg) So 5.6kg difference. Manufacturer specs vs real life . Not so much... Which are probably the fluids and other components I guess..just like you.. Cheers Robin |

Skillfully shifting...you must be one talented dude to be able to drive a manual transmission. Congrats on that!

It probably didn't take skill when everyone used to drive stick. Or maybe everyone used to just have mad skillz, but now suddenly everyone is retarded except for a handful of American manual transmission drivers.

I've driven both (I personally own a 6MT). Two very different animals. Almost felt like two different cars to be honest. Can't say one is better than the other. I'm a manual guy myself and I can say the DCT is quite impressive. I can see why many opt for it. Just my 2 cents.

I'm not going to argue semantics - I grasped the context. Moving on.

Clearly you didn't read the context. So I'll answer for you, NO the M2 DCT does not take more skill than a 6MT on the M2. |

Seriously, it doesn't take skill to step on a clutch and shift. What did take skill in the past was heel/toe and double clutch which I did with my previous cars. Really don't see how it takes more skill... Does it require more steps? Sure. Takes a lot more skill to master the race line, hitting the apex, vision, trail brake... I've never heard an instructor say, you need to work on your shifting skill. |

I will explain in layman terms for the challenged; Just because two things aren't in extreme difficulty, doesn't mean those two things share the same exact difficulty level. No shifting the DCT is not harder than shifting a 6MT. Sorry. |

Who said it was harder? It may require more skill for someone who doesn't know how to drive a stick. But for majority of the posters here, it doesn't take more or less skill to drive stick on the track or as a daily. If I had to do a heel and toe/double clutch, then yes, it would take more skill. |

But, of course, if you take 2 newborn childs in each, the DCT would be easier. (for M2 I prefer DCT... I think it is more fun)

The amount of debates on this forum involving semantics is ridiculous...
Is it 'harder', does it require more 'skill', is it more 'difficult' First guy - Yes it's harder but you don't need more skill Second guy - Oh come on man its not harder or more difficult but does require you to be more skillful... You guys are killing me, you know who you are.. |
