I agree with you BigV that on identical cars up untill very recently that the manual will win out every time but the latest technology that is fitted to the latest million pound super cars will filter its way down to more mundane cars in the not too distant future and this technology will make autos quicker and render manual gear changing all but obsolete. Even paddle shift changing will probably get phased out as there will be no need for it other than to give a sense of control over your driving style.
