Just bought a WRB limited
After thinking about it and lurking here on the forums and hemming and hawing, I finally pulled the trigger yesterday. What a sweet car. Decided to go with the manual transmission even though I have only every driven autos before. It's gonna take me a few weeks to get it down, and the first drive to work today in traffic was terrifying, but I'll get the hang of it.
Man, it feels good... |

Congrats! My BRZ was my first MT car, too—though I owned a motorcycle for several years, so the concepts weren't new to me. I'm coming up on 4 weeks of ownership, feeling pretty comfortable now. Practice practice practice. Find a nice empty business parking lot at night to practice getting it into first.

The BRZ is light and toquey enough to let up the clutch slowly in 1st without giving it extra gas for practicing and learning the grab points.
