This is an automated manual. It’s visceral and race-bred, but the clutches are "consumables." Elias checked the clutch wear percentage via a diagnostic scan—anything over 70% meant a $4,000 bill was lurking in the shadows. The "Sticky" Situation
The car was honest. It had the service stamps, the ZF gearbox he wanted for daily driving, and only a hint of sticky buttons. He knew he’d spend about $2,500 a year on "preventative love," but as he looked back at those Pininfarina lines, Elias knew it was worth every cent.
