I've had a manual since I learned to drive and a manual Camaro since 2009 when the 5th Gen came back. When I decided to trade her in for the ZL1, I was dead set on the manual again. I heard some discussions about how great the A10 was and how it was going to perform in the ZL1. I decided to bite the bullet and go for it.
I'm 1300 miles in and I seriously haven't had a second of regret. Those 1300 miles have been a complete mix of highway, back country roads, city streets and stop and go traffic. I've thrown pretty much everything I could at it so far during the break in period. It's performed flawlessly.
The shifts are ultra quick when you want and need them to be. However, it adapts so seamlessly to every situation. It can be civil when it needs to be and totally bananas when you want it to be.
I don't see any reason for the manual with an automatic this good. When I want the manual feel I push the shifter over and either use it or the paddles. In fact, this is really the only automatic I've been in where that actually provides a truly manual feel. I don't miss the manual and I'd buy the A10 again in a second.
Good luck and happy shopping!
