some automatics are much much better at everything than manuals
i'm not a fan of ATs but i do give credit where credit is due
for example the SMG in the new M3 :naughty:
i'm still of the opinion that strut tower bars are cosmetic. think about the location of a STB. right in front of the firewall. the most rigid part of the car's frame...
on top of that it's a unibody frame, AND it's a double wishbone suspension. i could see STB's maybe helping a little more with Macpherson Struts.
whatever the case, they're never worth the price that people pay for them.
