Not the same. Basically like driving in 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th and never switching to 5th when driving a 5 speed manual.

When comparing with a manual you should think more along the lines of a three speed with overdrive i.e. 3 is direct drive and what would be normal top gear in an old three speed with 4 being an overdrive.
