If you plan to race it, cruise it a lot, or really enjoy drifting, get the manual. If you are driving it to work through traffic alot, get the automatic.

I'm planning on ordering my FR-S tomorrow but I'm still indecisive on the transmission. The dealership says that it's gonna take 2 months to come which is perfect because as of right now, I only have my learners and I can't drive alone until Jan which is my 17th birthday.

And before you all start with you "omg spoilt kid with parents paying for ur car" nonsense, I would have you know that I'm paying for 3/4 of my car. Yes, I have a part-time job and I can full well afford 100% of the car on my own by my mom insists on paying that extra 100bucks a month to have a little (as she calls it) "control" over the car. That being said, she REALLY, and I mean REALLY wants me to get an auto car because she has this mindset that manual cars are "dangerous" to drive.

Any thoughts about this? I'm planning on getting the Asphalt color with just minor mods (blue tip exhaust, back window tints, etc). Would really appreciate it. Thanks guys!

PS. sorry for wall of text
