Absolutely LOVE stick. I learned it on my SS, and wile it took some time once you get the hang of it, its nothing. I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking to trade in. Really adds so much more fun to your ride. I feel like half the auto guys just didnt want to deal with learning stick or just thought they werent going to be good at it and thats why they settled for the auto. Not saying ALL auto guys but most. At least that was how I was. Still a great car though and I can understand people with their reasons(bad legs, city driving) but I really think everyone should just TRY IT! Its fun. Youll never know if you like it or not until you give it a shot.
But to answer your question...yes I regretted it. But not more than regretting getting the V6 over the V8.

Love my paddle shifters & my dual clutch auto.
I can bang through gears, or let it do its own thing.
Normal mode for regular driving.
Sport mode for aggressive driving
Ss mode for track & launch control.
Holds rpms til 5 k, it can move up the rpms so quick, glad I can just hammer the next gear.
So no regrets with this auto, it shifts better/faster than 99% of the planet.
