I test drove both and I have to say that the automatic is great and faster in straight line acceleration just because you can shift so much faster. It really changed my opinion about ATs.
However, I still prefer the 6spd manual because i'm so used to changing gears on the fly and i love the feel of being connected to the car. I don't buy cars to race people so I could care less if it's a hair slower or faster. It's all about the drive and what you want out of it.
