At ********* they have a spreadsheet of who has ordered the BRZ and 86 and 90 percent are manuals for both cars. If that keeps up then Toyota is going to have to change the amount of autos it orders from Subaru for these cars since over the years the 86 has traditionally sold like 70 percent autos. Maybe this is because true enthusiasts are more likely to buy the car early and also more likely to be the ones to drive a manual.
I wouldn't buy this in an auto, but I understand those that do. All good.
I owned an 87 Chrysler Conquest in auto back in 1991 and everyday I wished I had found a manual instead. My buddie drove the manual version of the Mitsubishi Starion, which is the same car and I was jealous every time we were together.
