No it's the opposite, auto has long ratios so bad acceleration but good cruising while manual has short ratios so good acceleration
im not comparing AUTO with MANUAL...
im comparing 1.5 with 1.3, do both variant have same prosmatec txn? exactly same or any difference>?
I have City 2017 1.3 I will suggest 1.5 for better fuel and driving pleasure.
