I drove a 2014 Mustang V6 automatic for a weekend and thought it didn't feel as fast as the numbers would suggest. One of the problems was the automatic transmission. When you stomped on the gas on the highway, the car would take 1-2 seconds to downshift, then the car would finally accelerate as you would expect.
The dullness of the transmission combined with the weight and softness of the car made it feel very lethargic.
The FR-S with a manual is a much crisper, rewarding experience IMO. Very responsive. And if you keep the revs above 4500 rpm, it feels decently quick in a straight line.
