well if my little p5 with the auto stick is any good gauge then i got to say that i much rather have a a auto stick car any day!!! as far as keepint the car it the rpm range at all time the little mannual mode is awsome i can keep the rpms up into the corners and it has a good motor braking too!! .. the only thing is that once you put it in auto it drive like you standard mom mobil you know it drives smooth and easy!!

so in my book a auto stick automatic = all day !!
