hi there would a suzuki hatch 800cc auto have much more power compared to asuzuki hatch 550cc manual or would you loose most of the power through the transmission of the auto?
F8B has 50% more power than an F5A. The general consensus on additional drivetrain loss from an auto is about 5%, meaning than an auto F8B is around 45% more powerful than a manual F5A.
Having owned and driven both I can say that seems true.
