Automatic or Manual Transmission? Decisions, decisions...
 
I was barely able to actually see a BRZ limited in person for the first time yesterday, however, the dealer wasn't allowing a test drive unless I bought the car first :sigh:. I plan to order my BRZ next week but am still undecided as to what transmission I should get. To those who have test drove the car, or are lucky enough to already own one, what transmission would you suggest getting?

Any input would be appreciated!

Quickly, because it's been covered, the BRZ clutch on the MT is not bad at all in traffic. Very little downside to the MT.

The car is being ordered 70% manual, 30% auto.

just like a windows pc or a mac pc.


you're buying the car for you, not for other people to judge you according to it.

If you know how to drive manual, buy the manual. If you don't, and have no intention of learning, the Auto isn't bad from what I hear.

Personally, this is a driver's car, the only true choice is the MT.

In defense to Justin Bieber, that guy knows how to make money and works really hard. He probably makes more money in a week than what we would make in a year. :thumbup:

It helps to be discovered and financially backed by Usher...
