Don't expect to burn anyone off from the lights though as the ECU feeds engine power to the trans on take off very gently to safe guard it. Once your moving though it has alot of torque benefits, quite authoritative in fact.
Good choice if your main priority is getting decent fuel economy in stop/ start driving conditions, but if you prefer the fastest version I would go the manual.
