The video says it all, but from a rolling start there is a small amount in it leaving the manual in front.

As far as auto box's go I've heard good things, but there is no way I would ever buy an auto 86. In my opinion for a sports car like the 86 you lose the 100% connection feel.

When I drove the Auto GTS I was surprised to be honest at how sporty it felt when using the paddle shifters. I'd never buy an auto, but at the same time if I got stuck driving one it isn't so bad.
