Right, I'm a bit drunk at the moment so I hope this makes sense. I've seen on here that many of you guys own nice Audis or BMWs and so on. I take it some of these cars have paddle shift gears. What I'm trying to ask is how are they to live with? You see, I loath automatics and love manual cars. Yesterday I was down at Subaru getting my timing belt changed. While there I was checking out the new Forester and Impreza. I quite like both but they only came with paddle shift gear boxes. I asked if there was a manual for the Impreza to which I was told yes, but only a 1.6 with 110bhp or the STi model when they release it. I won't be able to afford the STi I think and no way am I having a ****ty 110bhp car. So if I went for the new Impreza I'll be stuck with a paddle shift. I'm also thinking about the new Forester but again paddle shift.
Can a guy who loves manual live with a paddle shift gear box? I mean, you still have to change gear yourself, right? Just without a clutch. I have driven the last impreza with a paddle shift but only for a day. It was ok but my left hand was always reaching for the gear stick and my left leg felt, well..... un-needed.
