My Mazda3 has ruined any other manumatic for me. I drove the G8 also, and I couldn't stand that auto transmission. In D, it'll hunt for gears for whole seconds before anything happens, and in manual mode, it's all backwards.<br><br>Also, DSG has a stick, just like Tiptronic, in addition to the paddles on the wheel. The paddles are good, but I prefer using a stick, which of course is backwards.<br><br>Another issue with the stick is that everyone pushes the stick away from the driver (to the right) for manual mode. Mazda makes you pull it towards you (left) in the 3, which I really enjoy. It's like you're taking ownership of it. Curiously, the Mazda6 has it wrong. BMW gets it right.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Seoultrain]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 2nd 2008 3:26PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
