The transmission won't make THAT much of a difference. It doesn't turn it into a completely different car, the auto just has taller gears, but they both have 6 - when you're in the RPMs, you're in the RPMs if you know what I mean....
The FR-S isn't a fast car, it's not meant to be. But we can't really defend it by saying "Oh yeah it's slow because you drove the auto" because that isn't true. This is a sporty car, not a sports car. It runs 15 second 1/4 times, has a below average 0-60 time and will have some "somewhat" decent lap times.
"But this car is for the driver mannnnnnnnnnnn" - Well, okay... but it's still a pretty slow car that's over hyped and over priced.
It's just a car, not a gift from god. - No matter what Toyota and Subaru try to make us believe.
I followed this car for years, but am very disappointed with the final product - Sorry guys
