So obviously this is a subjective thread and just mixed opinions and we've gone over this way too many times...
But what I did find interesting was that with a AT, even though you floor the pedal, between 0 to 60 you won't get WOT as there is a restriction programmed in and with the manual you do get WOT if you press the pedal all the way down...
Obviously you can get rid of that by changing the flag in the ECU, but the reason the AT needs this is interesting....
