Most of the time the auto engine power ratings are also down on the manual versions, so not a great comparison.

Why are you asking the question? if it is for performance reasons. Then anything performance you should have a manual box.

A benifit of an auto over manual is you don't get lag between gear changes like you do with a manual turbo car.

how much of a transmission loss is there through an auto box compared to a manual one?
