Too rough to live with, regardless of application. I remember reading tests of the E60 M5 (the V10 car) and the consensus was that it was just a little too rough to live with (shifted too fast or too slow, depending on mode). Ferrari used sequentials in their 'base' MR cars for a while (355, 360 Modena, and F430), but they switched to DCTs in the late 00s (with the 458 Italia); every test I saw mentioned the sequential was just a little too rough around the edges to live with.yeah but we the fans do. /JK
So, where are the damn sequentials for the common-man? The nice thing about sequentials is that they are considerably stronger, simpler, and clutch-less shifts are trivial. Ignoring the gearing advantage, the A10's claims of shift-speed are negated with a sequential.
Of course, on the flip side, the 6MT versions of the Ferraris (355, 360, F430) are now commanding higher prices on the used car market, so take that how you wish.
