0-60
Slightly off-topic, but....
Don't just consider 0-60 for performance difference between the 5AT and the 6MT. Remember, the 6mt obviously has one more gear, and it really shows as soon as you hit about 62mph and both cars select fairly different 3rd gears.
1st 3.540 3.794
2nd 2.264 2.324
3rd 1.471 1.624
4th 1.00 1.271
5th .834 1.00
6th ---- 0.794
As you can see the 6mt will accelerate faster in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears, yet still get better highway mileage due to a longer overdrive gear. 5th in the 6mt is the same as 4th in the 5AT. Plus, the 6mt gets a rev-up engine with about 500 more revs at the top end.

After driving manuals for all of thse years, I find that driving autos to be very boring. I always get a an auto as a loaner, and initially I think it's not bad but after a few minutes driving gets real boring.

with 5AT, it's fool-proof.
