...I could go on, but there's no comparison.

I will say one thing about the Twins that is likely to make some people upset, right or wrong (it's my honest opinion, though); the automatic should not have been made given that they seemingly, for whatever reason, couldn't get the rpm peak, HP, or acceleration times (which are weak for the manual transmission, and embarrassing for the automatic) of the manual.

But aside from that, there's just no comparison.

Well it's a good thing that all the problems you've listed for the auto aren't what this car is about. Also, if you haven't driven the auto, I don't think you're in a position to really talk down about it...
