    Not really, it is more accurately speaking, two manual gearboxes and two clutches.

    Neither of which you control with a pedal. That was my point ;)

    Why pay a premium to allow a machine to perform a task I can equally and easily perform myself. ;)

    Where does that stop? Electric windows/wing-mirrors?
    I prefer a manual for no other reason than I feel more involved driving with one and I can find better use for the extra couple of grand that I'd spend in buying the equivalent auto.

    You can still select gears in an auto though, just without having to use a clutch manually.
