I think that the stopwatch would disagree wit hyou pn the subject of the auto vs.stick at low speeds. The 2.3 LPT with the stick has a very noticable dead spot at low RPM ,especially when first shifting into second gear. When at low RPM and especially on a slight uphill, there is a moment of terror reserved for you if you are just getting into a lane of traffic.
The automatic has no such bad trait,only a smooth transition through the gears. No matter what the road testers say when they put the car through standard test protocols, the more important criteria is how the car behaves when in daily driving situations, and in this area, the automatic shines.I doubt that there is now even a measurable difference between the V-6 and the 185 HP LPT four when both are coupled to the excellent A-W 4 speed automatic transmissions that Saab provides.
