I believe that this will change the experience of performance-oriented driving significantly. Can anybody with more knowledge confirm or rebut this?

If the rear differential ratio is shorter then the overdrive gears will be brought back in line with the manual gearing.

See if you can find manual vs auto rear diff ratio.

Auto's also do not have the LSD.

I also saw on the High spec brochure that the auto's have paddle shifters.
