While I would love to have one with a MT the automatic actually has proved to be very enjoyable especially since it is my DD and I am on the road commuting for at least an hour a day.
I have only owned 4 cyl Japanese coupes, had a 240SX, CRX, MR2 and Celica GT, so when the FR-S/BRZ was announced I immediately knew I wanted one and boy, I have not been disappointed at all, I love everything about the car. Looking to pay the FR-S off hopefully soon and just keep it for my son when he turns 16 one day and then work my ass off to get the new Supra/FT1 if it ever comes out.
My car is completely stock right now, I was considering modding it a bit, maybe adding a supercharger, but now that I'm divorced, I'm slightly torn about trying to get one with a MT, but I don't think financially that would make sense since my baby has 30,000 miles already and I do want to work towards that Supra one day :p the automatic has been surprisingly really nice, shifts are crisp and quick and while the gearing is a little longer than the set on the MT it isn't too noticeable. I’ll hope to collaborate and learn as much as I can on this forum about the AT for the FR-S to see what I will be able to accomplish.

I feel you. I can drive stick fine, but I live in LA and part of my usual commute besides being stop and go is up a sharply graded hill in stop and go. No part of me wants to do that in a manual. Someone told me that's because I "haven't been driving manual long enough", but it was exactly the opposite haha. Not fun enough anymore to make me excited about creeping up hills and inching forward.
I have a 2015 whiteout, been looking for a time to start doing autocross. Also trying to throw a body kit and a wing on it. Love this thing.
