Then ask yourself whether having a stick-shift is a
real requirement, or just a prejudice or superstition
from another time. There isn't anything a stick-shift
can do that an automatic cannot -- especially one like
Audi's Tiptronic, which you can always drive as if it
were a stick without having to worry about replacing
clutches.

Re: To the owners of A6
It befuddles me why anyone will want a stick shift luxury car. Especially
when the same model offers a tiptronic.
This is why I ended up with an Audi and not a WRX.
