Whilst I kind of agree. I don't.
I had a 2012 Focus ST, 2010 focus XR5 turbo and now a manual FG turbo.

Being a manual it can be harder to keep on boost, whereas an auto isn't.

That said, I'd still pick a manual 7 days out of 7.
I did see somewhere that the manual MK4 Focus ST is actually faster than the Auto.
