Dude, what is wrong with you? lol You cannot argue that a manual DOES IN FACT offer more control transmission wise than an automatic. Why argue that? You can argue your personal preference all you want, but that is a fact. Sure, maybe a newer semi-auto box offers the same amount of control, but the driver has more overall control in a manual than an auto. It's not about winning some internet fight, don't get upset over it. lol
