I have it and think it is a very worthwhile option. You can drive either in regular automatic mode or in the "S" (Sport) mode. The sport mode gives you complete control on the upshifts just as a manual does. It will downshift for you though. The shifts are quick and you don't have to let up on the accelerator to shift, kind of like power shifting. It is just a lot of fun. I think it's the best of both worlds and waited for it come out before I made my C6 purchase.
