Auto/DCT cars have the electronics in the transmission that control the gear shifts. the driver just selects up/down. so what annoys me is the programming taking over and over-riding what I gear I want. e.g. if I want to use a lot of engine braking, I might down shift very early. or if I want to keep a car stable during a corner, I might hold it past redline.
unless you have a race programmed transmission, I'm pretty sure, the car is going to disallow any commands it doesn't like. This also means I might not be in the gear I think I am in, if the down shifts didn't happen each time I selected the downshift paddle. which will cost me time when I go to accelerate.
so MT for me, because it's fun and I stay in control.
