I drive the Apline on Dirt Rally on PS4 and really enjoy the handling. The only car on Dirt Rally which is more fun IMO is the Mk2 Escort.
I like the look of the new car but will admire it rather than own one.
As for Auto boxes and turbos. Think things are changing. I still get satisfaction in a slick gearbox, a manual dog box and now find flappy paddles offer very accessible performance and are so slick (I even enjoy the blip on down change). I am normally more concerned about how to reduce the other driver aids.
With regards to modern turbo engines. I have driven a few 3/4 and 6 pot development engines, some twin scrolling and, other than the sound which can be disappointing, the performance is very impressive with no noticeable lag and great torque right the way through the rev range.
I do not have a sports car with a turbo currently but my next sports car will likely have one and may have a manual or auto box. The box will depend on what suits the car and the use.
