I don't consider the Sport a sports car either and I did not say or infer that it is. I know the shifter is nothing but an electronic switch. It's a personal preference. Center console push button or dial with paddle shifters would be ok for me. As I said, I would not have bought the Sport if it had a column shifter. It's just a matter of different preferences for different people.I don't consider it a sports car, from a long sports car ownership history.
would you not have considered it with a push button and the paddles. since you know they all have the paddles.
and the floor stick doesn't do anything other than select a mode in the transmission computer - and I guess for a limited amount take it out of park.
(IE when the battery is deal the console shift lever is useless)
The tone of your email appears condescending and I do not appreciate it. I've been involved in motorsports for over 40 years and I've built, enjoyed, trashed, loved and lost a lot of great rides across the years. The Sport is a whelm for me, a chance to play with something relatively inexpensive when we identified a need for a people / stuff hauler. If I want another sports car, I'll go buy one.
Anyway, thanks for the post. I'm looking forward to seeing you around the forum.
