Nope. Personally I care more about the quality of the transmission over the actual type. I would rather have a good Auto or DCT over a mediocre manual transmission or vice versa. I seem to alternate from manual to DCT to manual to now ZF8. Automatics have come a long way in the last decade while manual transmissions largely haven't improved as you get some great ones from Porsche, good ones from BMW, Honda, and mediocre ones from VW, Subaru, Nissan and terrible ones from Hyundai and Ford (as a former owner I can say the MT82 is trash). The whole manual vs automatic debate is kind of childish IMO like Apple vs Google, etc as people get what they like and there's no wrong answer. For me I don't mind rowing my own gears but it gets tiresome at times in the city and I really don't miss it but transmission type to me has no bearing on a vehicle purchase as long as it's a good transmission and I'm smitten with the car.
