If by "Purist" you mean someone who might actually want the mose performance out of a vehicle. Then the paddles are the choice, The DSG has already proven to be faster by at least a few tenths fo audi/vw. The Automated manuals (these are true manual transmissions folks) can shift and match revs better than any human driver ever could and they'll do it consistantly.Theres no loss of connection you're still doing all the work, just rot rowing them yourself. Keep your clutch pedal, ill take what F1, Ferarri, and Audi and already figured out is better. Paddles are the way of the future, tripedalists are a dying breed in an age where the automated manual is simply better.
