first new car, new to the forum
 

I just recently picked up my first new car, an ultramarine fr-s 6 speed MT. I'm in love with the car. Having been on Camaro and Corvette forums in the past (previous cars), this has been the most pleasant of them all as far as the people go. Everyone seems pretty helpful and passionate about these cars.

I was surprised because this has been the most difficult manual transmission I've ever driven. I traded in an Audi TT which was a standard, plus I had a 6 speed Camaro SS and I've driven a good amount of manual C5 and C6 Corvettes. It seems really sensitive. It's also the loudest manual transmission I've ever had. It's almost clunky when you shift it into gear. I'm assuming this is normal?

I'm hoping I don't have the idle issue. When stopped and in neutral, the car will sometimes drop about 200 RPM and then go back up. It's never stalled and it doesn't have any engine lights on.

Here are some pictures. After having it for a bit now, I couldn't be happier I picked ultramarine.

Excellent color choice.:thumbup:

My BRZ is my first new car too.

Been driving an Outback my whole life.

Hope you're loving yours as much as mine!
