I used to love the shift action on my 1992 Prelude SI model with all
wheel steer.
I could corner at 90 and power slide a bit :)

Not at all. The up/down on the stick shift for manu-matic is just
weird and awful. When you're using paddles it's more F1 like.

I've never driven a real paddle shift, but I did have a car with a
manually shiftable automatic, which I'd guess is a somewhat
similar experience... definitely not at all the same as a stick
shift, but it does give you somewhat more of an involved feel than
automatic.
The lack of a clutch definitely would make a huge difference.

It's not the same thing AT ALL. It's a third gear box option. My
car has automatic and paddle shift. It is not the same as driving
the 6MT of the identical car at all. Remember there is no clutch
and it is generally sequential, which is probably where that
different feel of driving comes in.

For manual lovers that have used "flappy-paddle gear boxes",
how do they compare in the involvement with the driving
experience?

All of my vehicles except my most recent car (and the work
van) have been manual, I miss that quite a bit.

My wife and I love stick shifts. Probably an attitude that

Stick shift makes you more "involved".
And like you say, it also is a crude form of theft
control. Becoming more effective every day. I'm surprised
by the number of people that don't know how to drive a
stick any more.

I still drive a stick because it's fun. Also nobody
else drives my car because they can't figure out how
to operate it.
