I've had great engines when paired with an auto and or DCT and they're just uninspired. Manual is the key.

Along with being a BMW aficionado, I am a Ford guy at heart. I come pretty much from a (30+ car) Ford family and have owned 8 Fords over my lifetime; my dad bought his Mustang fastback black over red new in 1965, and my mom owned two Mustangs. All in all 5 Mustangs in the family. Every Ford that I have owned has been a manual (none with a tach - lol). The manual in the Bronco is the driving factor why I bought it (and it has a crappy digital tach - lol).

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
