I've driven 5-speed manuals for years, but this is my first six-speed. There's a lot more shifting in traffic with a BRZ compared to my old five-speeds (not a bad thing, just different).

Also, with this engine, there is no power to spare, so you need to be in the right gear when you need power. That means down-shifting perhaps a bit more often than you may be used to.

This car rewards good driving skills, and it punishes bad driving skills.
