The 4EAT that subaru was using on the auto versions was absolutely horrid and anyone that bought that version simply had no clue what they were doing. But go to a modern 600hp car with traditional auto or DCT-auto and it'll do everything better.
The real problem is that autos have enabled the people playing with phones, which is likely a huge portion of the people on this site, just by demographics. I'd take back autos in a second to get rid of this problem, but it's not going away because people want to play on their phones much more than they want to drive, again, looking at demographics.

Having driven both a DCT F8x and a 6 MT F8x, you're absolutely right....and also why I own a 6MT F8x, is it is a lot more fun, to me, at least.
