If it's a Corolla sport it should be better. That's why they call it a sport.

Do you mean an autostick? That's when it has OD, D, 2,1 (or something along those lines). Or do you mean a Tiptronic(sp?)

It really depends on the car. I have the StepTronic option on my 325i, and I love it. While I may not have the fun of the clutch, its great for when Im dead tired and just want to cruise home. While I cant (as of yet) burn out or anythgin with it, I think it works just fine.

Honestly, I think that from a pure racing perspective, your better off with just a manual. But considering that my car not only races, but has to double as daily trasnport, then I think its great. I know I've beaten plenty of cars with manual trannies, so its really a matter of prefrance.

It's a good substitute but it's not quite as effective as the real thing.

The sport trans is made to be clutchless :)
