Manual transmission is always faster in response. You have to take into account that you have not slipping effect wich always implies power lose, it has the clutch function in manual transmission (the transition) that is not controlled by you as in MT.

Shifting is more precise in manual transmission, and it allows you a really sport driving if you want or like. Moreover less consuptiom is guaranteed.

In the other hand AT is more confortable and shifting is smoother.

Differences are less significative as the engine is more powerful. In a 850r you will not suffer lackness of power unless the car have auto tranny.
