It is an automatic, with a torque converter and all that that entails. That means it isn't like an SMG, or a dual-clutch transmission, which have a direct drive.
Owners have reported that they are happy with them, because it is a very good automatic, but it is still an automatic.
I like manual transmissions as well, much more engaging to me, but I fear their days are numbered.
