Love it. Only owned one automatic trans ever in my life. The 6 speed was abit to get used to but Now I think it is fantastic.

The 6 speed was a bit uncertain at first but if you get to know where your shifter is you can move it quite easily and quickly. I am a purist when it comes to a sports car.
If I wasnt so old and mellow I would more agressively assert that putting an automatic in a sports car is akin to putting perfume on a pig. Just doesnt do the trick if you get my meaning.
Right on, Keimpe!
