I'm asking this question specifically for those who love driving manuals and have also driven a DCT with paddles. In your experience, do paddle shifters provide anything close to the engagement of driving stick? My VW has a 6-speed AT with a shiftronic option (using the gear shifter to manually select gears), and I find it utterly pointless. But I do have the impression from reading that paddles with a DCT are something closer to the real thing. I would love to have the input of enthusiasts on this board. I'm cross shopping cars like the Kia Forte GT and the Jetta GLI with the Civic Si. I'm dying to go back to manual but I also have some physical concerns (foot issues) about investing in an MT. Thanks.
