I've recently kicked around the idea of trading/selling my current FR-S and buying a manual despite having never owned a manual car before...
Does anyone have any experience with a FR-S as their first manual car?
Are there any particular things I should know prior to purchase? How does maintenance differ from the automatic? Have any tips / things to watch out for?
Would it be better to buy a beater first and learn on that?
Thanks to all those who reply!

edit: I've got no real time frame here as I love my automatic (purchased used, fully paid off) and there's nothing wrong with it... I guess it's just for the first time in my life I'm "intrigued" by the "other side" (stick vs. slushbox). I also have a love hate relationship with the color of my car - gray - and wouldn't mind owning a brand new vehicle now that I know the FR-S definitely suits my needs / tastes.
