I think you are thinking of an underpowered car with an auto. That I agree would not be fun to drive.
Regardless of traffic conditions I can either drop it out of OD or punch the throttle and the tranny will downshift itself and I have all the power I need.
While I agree that most manufacturer's post higher epa ratings for their manual cars vs auto cars I seriously doubt that happens in the real world unless you drive the manual like Grandma.
