this. The only problem with a standard transmission is everyone else. The majority of american's drive automatics and have lead feet. Over-speeding from a red light just to hit the brakes hard to sit at the next light. A lot of cars are in shops simply because of this, and the price of gas should not negatively affect anyone if they drive right. So, when you're at a light and someone is sitting three inches behind you and rides you at that range because you are not accelerating fast enough for them, let it roll as it will happen many more times. They won't be enjoying life nearly as much as you.
The FR-S BRZ is a car that was purpose built. Any model that was made with an automatic transmission is simply a waste, regardless of how fast the transmission shifts. You made the right choice.
