I drive them both almost every day and its definitly there and definitly makes the auto way less peppy. Still fun, but there is way different gearing. 6th gear in the manual going 70 is like 3kish rpms and 2kish in the auto. Its a significantly different gearing ratio.
so what you are saying is the automatic is more useful in the real world for daily driving.
