But you can turn this feature off, which makes the car no different than our current 6MTs. If you want to go to the track and heel/toe through all the bends and turns, you still can. One could very easily apply the same argument that the synchro-rev "takes away from the driving experience" to the traction control we all enjoy. You think traction control takes away from the driving experience? Then turn it off; no one's complaining about having the ability to turn it on.

However, when you're half-asleep and you roll out of bed and into your car for your morning commute, the synchro-rev would allow you to enjoy a smooth drive without the extra hassle of throttle blips and rev matching your downshifts. I don't know about anyone else, but my morning commute is usually a rough drive because I'm drinking a coffee, half-asleep, dealing with stop-and-go traffic, and definitely not focusing on my transmission. To be honest, I wish I had bought an automatic every single morning. It's not until I take it out on a nice afternoon and have some fun that I remember why I chose the 6MT.

The synchro-rev transmission would give us manual tranny people the ability to have a classic manual transmission, but also allow for more daily-driving comfort and convenience when we want to focus on something other than our car. IMO, the synchro-rev transmission would make my 6MT a much better daily driver than it currently is. But once I turned it off, I would have the exact same car I already have!

I think it's a cool feature, especially since you have the option to turn it off. I've heard that the feature won't be coming to the G since it would take away from Z sales.
