I haven't looked at other offical figs for a while, but based on above, I'm standing by my 10% slower, for all it matters.

While I suggest people should way up the pro's and cons, most people I think pick auto vs manual based on overall pref/driving situation and thats fine.
Yeah, you're 100% correct for TSI manual and auto but the topic is TDI manual.

My info is from November 2009 Publication VAG7500D. Comparing TDI manual to TDI auto.
