This question is probably asked atleast 20 times a day, and the answer is usually Manual! However, i’m in a dilemma, long story short, i’m only permitted to drive Automatic vehicles until this time next year at least. With that being said, i’m aiming to have my BRZ by February 2023, it would need to be an Auto seeing as I won’t be able to drive a manual until November 2023.

This brings me to my question, should I buy my childhood loved car in an auto transmission, so I have it as soon as possible? Or should I hold out until November just to buy a Manual?

I honestly don’t know what to think or do, I don’t exactly know how to drive manual, however; the BRZ is a good learning car. I’m not looking for life changing performance, in that 0.5 0-60 difference or whatever it is, i’m just looking for a fun, wow, car. I know i’ll get that out of the manual, but I really don’t think I can wait a whole year. Should I just buy the auto and maybe swap it eventually?
