The Fez was great around town and motorways (gave me such a buzz quick changing with the paddles!, and the Lambo absolute fun on the track (allowing me to concentrate fully on the lap rather than the shifts).

I enjoy my manuals, in fact ive never owned/wanted to own an auto before.. and really do think the gearbox is fantastic on my '06 Honda S2000.. (if a little notchy).. which i think this GT86/BRZ gearbox has been compared to (?)
For me though i have to have this car as an auto.. but i can certainly see why if you're used to auto's why you may very well want to have this model with a MT .. !!

each to their own, i just cant wait to sit in that low slung 86, blip the paddle and zip off :happy0180:
