That says there's something screwy about their analysis. Automatic transmission costs more to manufacture & maintain, gets worse mpg, and (going by accounts here & Insight Central) needs more maintenance, but still gets a higher score?

It's also (IMHO, anyway) pretty messed up to give a score to a new car, and not update that on the basis of experience.
