Well, what you say is true about opinions, although automotive journalists do have a very strong bias in favor of manual transmissions for whatever reason.
I would easily choose the 6 cylinder car over a 4 simply because it will go faster in a straight line. Lap times are less important as I never go to a track. It does surprise me that with two cars having the same steering system one would feel numb and the other is just fine. Still, reaching a surprise conclusion produces controversy which does sell.
