This cannot that cannot. I think manual still easiest to drive and control. No replacement.

Hmmm... The inching-forward part makes sense as it's like driving with half-clutch. Other than traffic jams, many drivers do that while waiting at traffic junctions too. Edited July 3, 2016 by Jellandross

If cant inch forward like that then manufacturer better don't produce cars lol

What's the point for having to accept all these limitations in buying a car? Buy and then regret like shit - what for?

Go full auto lah. Manual also can!

I think it might be true though. That is why some car manufacturers still decide to stick with full auto with torque converter instead. Dual clutch will give better 0-100 timing though. So the manufacturer got to decide which route they want to go lo.

Actually modern "Torque convertor" Auto is the best,it won't 'slip' like older unit....because of a "lock up" clutch...

You miss my point.  Manual gear half clutch no problem.

Not true across the board lah.

No, I meant compare between torque converter and a dual clutch transmission. Most auto will be faster than manual now.

I once did that reversing up a steep slope

 

when I reached the top, burnt smell was very prominent
