[MoreSpeed]

I have been a fan of the manual 6 speed over the years, but I love the A10.

Now that I am beyond break in period, I find myself putting in manual mode and driving with the paddles most of the time. I love the sound of the rev matched downshift and clicking through the gears as it accelerates. I find the A10 very engaging. I find manual shifting is the best way to modulate the noise (up that is).

In Track mode, it makes some nice noises on accel and decel. You can feel the downshifts in manual mode, but there is nothing here not to love.

I have done a few autoX's so far. It is great, keeping right in the meat of the power band. I let it do its own shifting there since it is quicker than I am. Pretty much flawless.

When I am in the neighborhood, I sometimes put it back in automatic and let it drive at 1400 RPM, quiet as possible.
