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.
Hi DJM83 I heard the same thing just before the Aus version was released but contrary to popular belief (even allowing for the extra weight of the auto) I defy any manual (no matter who the driver) to shift as quick as the Auto ST, there in lies the difference, in fact a test by I think it was 'Car Expert' on You Tube found it didn't matter what they tried or which mode they were in the auto was substantially faster than the manual full stop.
