no - the DCT does have great paddles. it seems this manual v. DCT discussion crops up often on this site. yes, manuals are fun, but they are much slower and less fuel efficient than the DCT; plus, for me the paddles are really fun as they work brilliantly. I also have had many manuals over the years and now that I have experienced the DCT and PDK, I will never look back. for me, it would be like lamenting the change from hand cranking the engine to start the motor to electric starters . . . nothing personal, it is just that sometimes technology and advancement are good - especially in this case
