I retired from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Criminal Alien Division where I had to drive in and out of DC everyday. If I was still working and driving in and out of DC from where I had a home in the suburbs since sold (20 miles each way stop & go) I probably would have gotten the auto trans. But, I am now in rural Southern Maryland where shifting is a pleasure and not a problem. That is why I got the 7 speed, and golly, I do so enjoy shifting it, having the feel of total control, and making it as noisy as I wish when I wish now that I have figured out how to keep the Performance Exhaust on in all 5 driving modes. I think the auto trans also is great, but I love shifting this car. The clutch is real easy to depress, and the shifting is smooth. I never think about it as it is never so onerous as to be noticeable. My wife loves shifting it and says she is a better shifter (not). I am not sure about the Rev Matching. I do just as well without it on, and I think better. It seems to me to rev when it should not or really isn't needed. It revs up and make lots of noise when I would not have done so on my own, but that is cool if you want people to take notice of your C7 and its power.
