most people thought having a manual car will makes it goes harder and faster. PROVIDED the driver know how to shift quickly and when to shift. Otherwise, auto will always be faster and easy to live with.
In my opinion in general, cars with small engine capacity is better off with manual as auto can rob off much power from the little engine. and with AC turned on, its hopeless.
with commowhores and falcons, turning AC on or having manual/auto makes very little differences in power at all.

You don't hear people blown their manual box because it can withstand a lot of sh*ts given to it.
Well, bennoz is a different story.

Manual does have the upper hand over tiptronic when it comes to performance.

The auto is just trouble. I've been through two of them and just like all all Mitsubishi transmission in the 90's suck. Go a manual.
