I'm still trying to find the enjoyment I am supposed to get out of owning a manual transmission FR-S.

I drive MT smoothly now, but it is just one more thing to think about while driving.

So at autocross, instead of putting the car in S or 3rd gear from the paddles, I now start at 1, take off, and block shift to 3.

The car stays in 3 during the whole autocross course.

So where's the enjoyment supposed to start? Or maybe I'm more into driving fast and finding the fastest way around a track or cones that adding shifting into that mix is pointless.

I'm going to see if I can take out an AT FR-S service loaner when I bring my car in for 7500 mile service so that I can make up my mind.
