the C32 is SOOOOO much better than the M3 imho.

i just test drove the m3 today and it didn't feel as responsive as the c32 did, and i wasn't even easy on the car. I test drove an M3 coupe with SMG and tried it in both modes. It was better when i was shifting on my own, but when i put it in A (mode 1, 2, 3 and 4!) there was a long pause between each shift.

i have always been fond of the M3 since i was young, but test driving it today really disappointed me.

that's something that comes up as lurches when u go clutchless maual "auto-mode"....quite common. audi has this newer dsg (direct shift gearbox), with twin multi-plate clutches in a 3 shaft design gearbox that allow for the manual tranny to "automatically" shift very smoothly...on the new audi tt 3.2 quattro.

I heard about that, is it base on a manual or automatic? I've got to go test drive one to see how good it is.

Make sure you like the handling of the C32 before buying it.
