I have the 5AT on a AWD. It's *quite* adequate.
I should note, that when in full auto mode, it does seem slow (almost gentle) to downshift to pass.
I usually leave it in DS or MM for throttle rocket driving... But that's just me

6MT here.. I voted "not happy", but that's because I had higher hopes for this car. I still prefer the 6MT to the automatic, so I'm not regretting the choice, but the whole drivetrain is rough compared to the last 4 manual transmission cars I've had, including a much lower-priced Miata.
To be fair, I don't think it's the transmission itself, but the engine that seems to be rough at high RPM and that transmits through the direct linkage in the stick and the clutch.

There is a summary.
At 70mph
AT spins at 3,000 rpm
MT spins at 2,800 rpm
Put it another way
AT at 3,000 rpm goes 70mph
MT at 3,000 rpm goes 80mph
Not a lot of difference then...
