99% of the smaller cars here are stick , which means all younger drivers, low income and people who do not spend on luxury or higher middle segments cars , drive stick . From 18 year old girls to 80 years old granny . And this is valid in all of Europe . STICK IS NO BIG DEAL . When you do your driving licence you have to do it with a stick, otherwise you get a special mention on your drivers license that prohibits your from driving stick , so no one goes through the test with an automatic .
The younger generation is much more fascinated by double clutch because of the newer technologie and considers it much '' cooler '' then the old stick .
PDK does not implement you can't change gear when you want to . Put it on manual, and you decide when to change gear or not . Just like manual, but without having to push on a clutch .
Dont' get me wrong, I like stick better on public roads, because It gets too easy and boring with PDK when you can't push the car, but once on a track, with the level of speed todays' cars are able to reach, I get lots of satisfaction from the PDK , as it allows me to go faster and gives me a thrill .
