The 6-speed is a full manual. As for having to lift off the accelerator during shifts, know that the car is a fly-by-wire car which means that your gas peddle is not directly connected to the throttle bodies. Those are controlled by a computer. I don't know if the computer allows you to shift while still on the accelerator, but it might. Some manufactures disable that (like GM). That is known as a "No-Lift-Shift" A.K.A. "Power Shifting".
There's enough power in the car that if you're in 6th gear and the RPMs are above 3000 that you should be able to put your foot down on the gas and get decent acceleration, enough to pass a car doing the speed limit, I'm sure. Below 3000 and it may take a while for the car to start picking up speed. Sorry, can't answer your top-speed question.
