Reading your comments, it seems like the fr-s is not really the car for you, but it's your money, I guess. Being able to drive a stick is a must have skill set if you ask me. It also helps people better understand their cars, how they act, and ultimately improve their driving capabilities and awareness. But I'm not gonna sit here and preach to you about why manuals are important, I am sure there are plenty of articles for that.

You are kidding me, right? Whats up with that bs analogy "everybody does it". I am your age (21 right?) and I never text and drive, even if I am in my mom's automatic. It's just as stupid as drinking and driving. If someone needs me, they can call me (using hands free when driving). Trust me, once you learn, you will be able to text, drive and shift... But that's just stupid. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt before, but now you do seem more and more like your typical river wanna be. At one point I was even thinking that you were trolling....
