It took that car until almost 100kph to reach 6000RPM India lowest gear. Meaning if you punch it at 40mph (~65-70kph) it wont jump to 6K. Having driven all three mentioned types of transmission, I definitely prefer manual. Want response? Downshift. The manual can be geared to take advantage of whatever traits you want
