If you know how to drive six speed get it. I only got the auto because I never driven a six speed in my life.
Its not smoother, and the engine isn't "punishing" you, what the hell does that mean. "S" simply holds the gears out longer when you are in the right powerband. Its a fuel efficiency thing.

On an SS, the paddle shifters do lag, but still will probably outshift most humans driving a manual. Though the manual will end up with more power to the wheels because of drivetrain loss on the auto.
