BRZ shifter is just fine, very slick and light to operate.
But then my other car is an '05 Corvette which has a rock crusher box and won't even go into 1st gear about 1/3 of the time on first try from stop, lol.
The BRZ shifter is slick and fast, but feels a bit fragile, so I have learned to work it gently.
Only thing I don't like about it is the centering force on it. It is so weak/light that when I try to downshift quickly from 5th to 4th, it doesn't center itself quick enough to find 4th a few times. Actually have to think and help nudge the shifter to center itself as it goes from 5th to 4th.
There is no real notchiness, unless you are trying to downshift into 1st gear, which I never do.
