No, a real manual transmission on the vast majority of cars is still more engaging and efficient than automatic because you have more control over the gear in corners and betger control over the power band at slower speeds. Some automatics are faster at acceleration, but cornering is always better in a manual.
Yes, a train/subway is more efficient than any car invluding EVs.
Engaging — very much so, at least for me personally
Performant — mixed story. in cheap cars like my Honda Fit where the alternative is a CV transmission, manual performs way better. In sports cars where the alternative is a dual-clutch, I think the automatics have been beating the manual on the track for a few years now.
Efficient — I think we lost that battle on all fronts since some years back
