Well FR-S was my first manual car. I had to test drive an auto before I ended up buying a manual. I had 3 days to get some practice after test drive to learn the arts of driving a manual. I live in LA so I do get a lot of traffic on a famous 405 freeway. My whole family told me that getting a manual is a dumb idea, and that I'm gonna hate it after a week. Well a week passed by and I'm in love with the car and manual transmission. I just like to have full control of the car and it definitely got me learning. Plus it helps to not fall asleep in traffic :P
