If the AT never existed and everyone drove MT drivers on the road would probably be more aware of their surroundings...just my opinion


With that said, I recently had a loaner with the same engine but an auto. The car did seem to be quicker off the line and almost a bit more peppy. Although in no way what so ever was it as fun to drive as my manual. In my opinion I just feel more connected to the whole driving experience with a manual.

After I got my car back I realized why it felt peppier. It was simply that the auto would rev the car much higher than I normally do while driving. Once I revved my manual the same way, it definitely felt peppier.
