It depends. Wink In most cases, a well practiced manual driver will still do better. However, automatics are closing the gap, especially with a CVT (continuously variable transmission). The CVT introduces some reliability issues as well as a driving experience that some don't like due to extra noise and the feel of acceleration and engine revving without the feel of shifts.

Of course (and you had to know this was coming), YMMV! Big Grin
