As per specs kasi pero actually malaki ang loss sa power ng tranny sa AT vs an MT. A manual transmission has 2 gear shafts and 1 clutch. An automatic on the other hand uses bands or gears, multiple clutches, torque converter, pump, etc. All this means is that if you put the same displacment engine in front of an auto and a manual, the manual will make more power at the wheels, and given the same RPM's will use less fuel.

But choosing an AT vs an MT is about needs and wants. SO it is subjective.
