Despite the slower 0-60 time for the AT FR-S, it is one of the best AT's for its price point and I don't regret my choice at all.
I wanted a manual transmission car but the fuckers only had an one FRS in stock and it was an automatic transmission. I even asked them if they could order me a manual and give me a loaner Corolla or something for the meanwhile and they said no. And no, I couldn't wait the 6 weeks it would have taken to get the manual FR-S. (I was rear-ended in an accident the month before and my old car was totaled and the other guy's insurance company refused to let me have a rental car for more than a month.) And, I couldn't go to another dealership because my friend's friend was the financial manager at this dealership and he got me approved for a lease even though my credit score is horrible.
