I will never buy a sports car with a torque converter. I dont care how good they have programmed them and I dont want to not feel the shifts. They feel disconnected and ruin the driving experience. And I know, I have one in my SQ5.
Remember that Lambo uses single clutch in the Aventador because DCT is too smooth! Not enough of an emotional experience.
Basically if you are afraid of spilling your oat milk latte because of a bad shift, you should be driving a 340i.

Calling a dct an auto is a misnomer as well. There is no torque converter on the manual variants but those who clutch their levers like the finest of pearls will argue semantics until blue in the face.
The answer to this thread is obvious. Add weight. Add easier trans. Add flashy (albeit ugly) exterior it’s the demographic they are targeting. If you don’t think there were focus groups, studies and money spent on identifying trends you’re fooling yourself. If you think the auto is a more enthusiast option, you’ve ignored the concurrent trends.

seriously whats up with "men" these days who buy sports cars? always complaining about something. "jerky transmissions" or "rough rides". if thats too much for you to handle, dont daily your car or dont buy it in the first place. DCT experience is night and day compared to autos and some of us enjoy that, not just talking about performance either.
