6 speed is faster but not a big gap b/w those 2.

Except u can shift 2 times more if I can tell u the major difference.

The 4 seep cut off is 184km while 6 speed manual is 250 something...

6 speed auto I am not sure about the cut off. But it has 6 port and 4 speed has 4 port, hope this address to your question.

i have checked the spec and seems like the 4AT and 6AT do not seems to differ much in terms of bhp. i think the speed and rpm will still be the same. however this can be overcomed by an ECU remap.

6AT will probably benefit from better gear shifts.... and of course more exp, i think

the six speed AT has higher redline (not confirm) with higher horsepower (confirm) and also its newer...
i would recommend the 6speed AT, but ultimately i feel that the 6 speed manual is still the best.

Talking

6 spd = 2 more gears to shift = more fun = more work on torque conveter = faster failure = more repair = more money for mazda = more money to build 20B RX7

i would think that 6 speed would have better fuel comsumption too... due to the closer gear ratio... but alot still depends on your right foot...
