I notice that compared to my old car, the shift lever has much stronger centering. Meaning I have to remember to push it over into 5th from 4th and hold it over into 6th from 5th a bit more than I'm used to. My old car had a really loose transmission with very close gates so once I learned it it was almost as if all I had to do to go from 4th to 5th was push up and it'd just scoot over on it's own. In the FR-S I grab 3rd or hit the gate occasionally when shifting lazily.

It's never a problem when actually driving hard and the overall feel of the transmission is 100x better. Just something I noticed.
