The slow death of the manual is as inevitable as it is sad - I'm firmly in the miserable old git camp who wouldn't have anything else in my fun cars, as much as I appreciate the current generation of ZF autos are very impressive things.
Wonder if manual JCWs will become as desirable in the future as other proper manual sports & supercars?
I'm with you on this Mon :thumbs up:
I've been given a new Audi A3 saloon while mine is in for some warranty work and it has an auto box and it just confirms the fact that i just don't like auto's :frown:
I know its just me but I feel like I'm always having to touch the brakes where in a manual I wouldn't. Maybe I should try it using the flappy paddle thingies :Whistle:
Do we think there may be an opportunity in the future for JCW to do a 911R, so to speak - i.e. a limited run manual with a huge premium?
Sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Auto is a great way for BMW/MINI to combat CO2 etc and still produce exciting cars
I haven't driven many cars with the zf box. But if its as good as people say it could be a lot of fun obviously losing some involvement but it would be nice just being able to sit back and cruising with having to change gear. Auto can make sense when its as good as pdk. I would still really like to see a 4wd f56 that would be an awesome little hooner
Love autos, especially on bigger cars. Like Ali, love the DSG box
I never driven a flappy paddle MINI but the thought of one does intrigue me somewhat.
I’m not too bothered about big bhp figures to be honest, but the higher the better, and I’d just want as many torques as mechanically possible for insane acceleration.

I’ve no intention of buying one though due to a severe lack of THAT kind of money and the fact that the R59 JCW has really blown my mind with its all round capabilities.

The only car that I’ve ever driven with flappy paddles was a Jag XK Dynamic R.
Oooh, that beast was simply stunning.
Sent from Yorkshire wi a hint o’ sarcasm.
I had a shot of the R8 V10 with flappy paddles.....it was quite nice :Whistle:
