One thing to consider is the hills of the bay area. Honestly, nothing against these replies but if you've never driven a manual trans before learning in the bay area isn't exactly the best. I lived there for a few months and I've never seen "hills" like that, including the Smokey Mountains and the Rocky's.... so.... IMHO I'd get an auto trans or get a manual and be prepared to use the e-brake a lot to keep you from rolling back on hill stars. :srsly: The 6 spd auto isn't the best but it's far from the worst. I'm kinda jelly of the laziness that can come with it as well.

Not at all. I am going by the EPA number as far as the MPG comparison. I've never driven a MT FR-S. You CAN eke out over 33 around town; 36 on the highway. Light traffic, using ever gas squeezing technique I can think of (coming from a Prius). It's not much fun tho....
