I hate that the only FR-S I could get in the next 3 months was an automatic
But I need a car, so...auto it is.
For me as for others, the cup-holders are useless in any position; if I can get some kind of after market center console we'll see what happens... I can't see using them as is, though--they're just in the wrong place no matter where my seat is positioned.
But this is a small nitpick. Other than the cup holder layout, I'm very, very happy so far!
