Default What about "manual" do they not understand?

For the first time I drove a car with one of the new "dual clutch"
semi-auto trannies. A 135. It was decent, but I was disappointed to
discover that if you give it some gas, it will downshift
automatically, even if you have it in manual mode!

I mean, WTF? Sometimes I want to feel the torque from down-low, but
it won't let you. I was disappointed, to say the least.
