The fact that there was a consensus that MTs were enjoyable does not imply that DCTs were not and in fact nobody in the discussion said that although it was agreed that it was a different experience.

The fact that you enjoy something does not mean everyone else does or should. Millions of people enjoy watching sports. I personally don't. I have lived in NYC for over 30 years and have been to one Yankees game and one Mets game. I was totally bored while surrounded by thousands of cheering fans.

Depending on the car I enjoy driving both MTs and ATs. For my use of a car the performance differences are a non issue.

What each of us find fun and enjoyable or dull and boring is a personal opinion not an absolute statement of fact.
