Yes 2 things have changed. One good one bad. Good, the clutches are lighter to press in. Bad, the electronic throttle pedal inputs are harder feel and judge. Just takes some getting used to. Other than that the stick feel in these cars are very rewarding in the drive experience.

I like Rev Match for handing the car over to the boss to drive. She's completely capable, but won't drive it much and hasn't owned her own manual in a couple of decades. Turning on Rev Match will give her the opportunity to just enjoy the fun of the car and will remove a lot of the 'risk' of additional clutch wear during downshift. For me, it stays off. Period.

I have Hill Start Assist in my Silverado and it really doesn't bother me. I actually -LIKE- the subtle roll-back of a manual on a hill and miss with this feature. For me, this is a feature that should be able to be disabled.

The clutch in this car is definitely smooth and easy to operate. While I don't expect to personally have to deal with any heavy traffic scenarios, if I get stuck in traffic somewhere it won't be completely unbearable to deal with.

That fourth pedal, though... tough to get used to.

Hill assist is another thing I wish I could just turn off.



And I want my brake lever back.



Electronic rpm/torque management goin on, so like the guy above said, you can't just drop out the clutch at four thousand.



But none of this in any way would mean that I would discourage anyone from picking one of these up- Like I said, I love mine- but alot of the little modern quirks cars do takes some getting used to.

Just be glad it's not a BMW, where the downshift blip is automatic and cannot be turned off unless you select a specific mode.

Personally, I like the feature being available. It doesn't matter for around the town(I have it off most of the time, too), but for competitive driving, it's handy. You just need to worry about braking without messing up the downshift blip. It's better than heel-and-toe.

I am sure you can take the steering wheel off and remove the paddles if they bother you.

And yeah, I wish I can turn off hill start assist, but I'd imagine Chevy might have done it for legal liability reasons.

I don't mind electronic parking brake other than the fact that they can't be disengaged when the battery is dead. I can think of situations where this is bad.

Based on some posts I've see where the wheel from a M6 can be used in the A8/A10 cars and vice versa, and the paddles do "the correct thing" for the car they're in (either rev match or gear shifting), my guess is that they can not be removed.

I would propose that it's because the Insurance Industry has lobbied for this feature to reduce their payouts from people that can't drive stick properly and roll back into cars behind them on hills.

This thread shows that they can be removed.

So yeah, if they both you that much, you can get rid of them.

Huh. Cool.

I remember reading about having the wheel for the "other" transmission and wanting to swap them for ones with the right silkscreen content or something. I thought that discussion ended in a "can't do it" sort of state.

Good to know!
