Anyone Else Considering an Automatic FR-S?
 

After watching the press conference, the Scion VP said that there would be paddle shifters on the steering wheel (I'm assuming like the Z). I'd love to have stick, but I might get the FR-S as a daily driver and the paddle shifters would add some excitement. Who else is with me?

3 pedals for me.

Ill stick with a 3 pedal 6 speed.

My Maz is a 6 speed flappy paddle gearbox and I love the sequential transmission, but nothing beats a full manual 6 speed.

Unless its a rally car that can shift 8000 times faster than a human, I'm gonna go stick.

Nope, manual for me too

I guess I'll be Scion's only sale :bonk:. There is too much traffic in my commute.

All I ever had throughout my life we manual cars. Thus this one will be too. I deal with traffic as well, it's just so subconscious anymore I don't notice I'm driving stick. So it doesn't bother me at all.

Even though we might be the majority (preferring the 6mt model) on forums, automatics will dominate overall sales for sure.

Such a popular excuse to give up and be lazy: ""waaa, my commute has traffic like the rest of the world, WWWAAAHHH!!"

I've always driven manual trans cars, so that "traffic" excuse simply fails miserably. Unless you're a disabled war vet, you likely have no real excuse to intentionally disconnect yourself from the driving experience. A sports car simply must have a manual transmission. Toyota is only offering an auto to scoop up as many sales as possible, certainly not for the purity of the experience.

unless its a twin clutch or a single clutch with a sequential gearbox I'll take a 6 speed short gear ratio manual tranny.

The classic 6 speed manual for me.

Manual for me as well.

But I welcome our automatic paddle shifter brethren. The more people to buy this car and make it successful the more likely Toyota won't back out of the sports market again.

This. 6 MT for me as well. I drive in traffic as well with my manual. No issues.

I enjoying throwing my own gears
