No no no. An SLK is just an SLK (just a computer program to shift the auto). When I say paddle shift I mean ferrari, lamborghini, or PDK-like transmissions. If you haven't driven one I will tell you that there is no human or manual transmission that can physically shift that fast or hard. If you can shift that hard (impossible) on every shift then you will be replacing pressure plates and main shafts on a weekly basis!

Otherwise, what is wrong with an automatic? If I am driving around I could honestly care less what is going on in the tunnel. I can say that its easier to have the car figure it out than having to figure it out myself. So far, every automatic I own also runs like a top with regular maintenance to the 200K zone. I guess a manual is good at times but I'll take an automatic.
