The auto 3rd gear is a quasi direct drive with the converter handling only 30-40% of the torque(depends on the specs you are looking at). Fourth is direct drive and and is geared well for running on highways. For passing the auto is hard to beat, it quickly downshifts to 3rd, the turbo grabs hold and away you go. Feels like 3rd is well connected, no mushing around at high RPM on converter only like many auto boxes.
