Hi all,
My first post. I have been reading the forum for some time. I am in the market for a GTS (light paint, red interior). I have settled on the idea of a MC Shift, on the basis it would be generally be a weekend car for use on open A and B roads. Occasional rush hour traffic. No slopes to park near me. I have so far been recommended the MC shift as being the "more rewarding drive"
While I have been looking at GT's from 2007 to 2015 with a 2010 onwards preferred, I have noticed that after 2013 the MC shift becomes alot harder to find, with most being Auto models (or Auto MC)
Should I therefore (which?)
I have read all about variators, front subframes etc, and that the 2013 onwards models, received an upgraded software auto box. Also that 2013 represented a bit more than just a facelifted GT, but also with plenty of updates in general from a 2012.
- A. Focus on a 2007 to 2012 MC shift
- B. Don't worry about it, a 2013 onwards auto (ZF) is sooooooo good the MC shift largely became redundant
- C. Accept that a 2013 onwards MC shift is just became rarer and I should still seek one out.

P.S if you really feel I should chase D which would be a 2007 to 2012 Auto by all means say it. I have mostly settled on an MC, but I am planning on delaying a purchase till winter, so I still have plenty of time to work through things.
Luke, I am going to be selling my MC Stradale soon!! Have you considered one as an option? Like an MC Shift but everything is just betterHi all,
