I personally was very surprised at the responsiveness of the Automatic when I had the chance to drive one.

If you notice, most manufacturers of high performance cars, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, hell even Lexus now with the LFA, have moved over from the traditional manual gearbox, because the car has proven to be faster with the transmissions, allowing the drivers to have a better experience when pushing the cars.

For this car, I wouldn't buy the Automatic, but that doesn't mean I don't think it should be offered. Like most people are saying, everyone should have the right to a choice. The automatic in this car has been highly praised with keeping the driving experience fun. With the rev-matching downshifts and very responsive paddles, I believe the automatic of this vehicle deserves praise. Don't compare your Camry's automatic to the FR-S automatic.
