I think the biggest problem there is that its a 1.4L barina
Having driven numerous autos, including an auto WRX, a 2004 auto GT Liberty, as well as several S/SS commodores and an XR6, I would be fairly confident in saying that auto's are not necessarily the slow POS's people make them out to be.
The best example of this is whilst driving the auto WRX, I dragged off an identical manual WRX. The manual got the jump on me, mainly cause I was timid on the launch revs, but the manual gained no ground at all.
If an auto changes down on you halfway through the corner, you were in the wrong gear to begin with Most auto's will allow you to use the manual selection to change down before you enter the corner.
