Fail.
If you can't drive a stick you shouldn't be behind the wheel of a responsive, dynamic sports car. If you don't want a stick and the interactive driving experience that comes with it, why do you want this car? Go buy a Solara or a (stock, cosmetically modified) tC.

I drive 90% of my time in congestion. I have never owned a auto.. Learn to use the clutch or go and look for a non sports car..
And also if there is a auto option CVT should be it

The appeal of the FT-86 is a cheap, fun, sporty little car. Given that most RWD sporty cars require at least $30k-40k, this car is suppose to be the everyday hero, like a VW GTI or other hot-hatch. There are no entry level RWD sports coupes besides the Hyundai Genesis.
With a properly matched autobox, the fun factor of this car can remain relatively intact. The DSG option on the VW doesn't kill the fun as say a green-CVT would or some ancient 4-speed auto.
It's a matter of taste and opinion here. To set the record straight, I'd 100% get a manual if I could afford a 2nd car for purely recreational purposes.
