auto vs manual

This is interesting feedback from the article.. hadn't seen it before:

"we found that highway driving with the automatic was accompanied with some hunting between fifth and sixth gears on the mildest of inclines. Otherwise, the FR-S cruised smoothly and effortlessly, with scant wind or road noise even in these pre-production cars."

Hunting between gears... pretty much all automatics will do this given a moderate incline, but it's interesting that they found the problem bad enough to comment on.

Glad I got the manual (which I pick up tomorrow.. can't wait!).
