- 2024 Integra Type S, 2023 Macan GTS
I've tried to live without a manual a couple times before, and failed. I've finally learned this very expensive lesson, after I traded in a perfectly fine PDK 718 GTS 4.0 for this Integra.
There was a bit more to it than that, but I was on the fence throughout the whole ordering process... but I'd probably still have the car if I would have gotten it in manual. I think I can admit that to myself now that it's gone lol.
That's yet another reason this ITS is perfect for me, and I don't want to modify it to the hilt. I still like DCT/PDK cars, but I absolutely must have a manual- so the solution is to have both. I still have "my wife's" 95B.3 Macan GTS that IMO is a better driver's car than pretty much any sports sedan on the market today- including the RS3. That's right, in my humble opinion the Macan has better steering and arguably a better chassis than the RS3! And the (8Y) RS3 is only barely faster... and only barely sounds better (and costs 2/3 as much...). All that said, I will have another "weekend car"- probably in exactly 4 years. Depending on a lot of things, that car could be an M2 CS, a Spyder, a 911, or an Artura. But it will be PDK/DCT.
My plan right now is to literally keep the ITS forever.
