I realize I may be turning in my man-card by asking this question, but how good is the BR-Z/FR-S automatic transmission? As much as I like to get a stick, for the other 90% of the time that I would care less for one, this is actually quite a difficult decision for me. I hear the technology is borrowed from the IS-F, but I've been thinking REALLY? I live in Los Angeles and this will be my primary car. I understand it will be a bit slower going from 0-60 compared to the manual, but I won't be drag racing. Honestly, I probably won't spend much time on the track either.
