Looking into trading my firestorm fr-s auto for a manual. Loved my rsx type-s in MT, so looking into a MT frs. Any trades?

If you wanted MT, why did you buy AT?

It's going to be tricky to find someone wanting to swap, but I'm sure someone is out there. And since you asked, I love my MT.. (:

No regrets, AT was not even an option and never has been.

I'm not complaining cuz it was a gift, but I would obviously prefer MT

Definitely do it!

My last car was an MT and i got the AT this time for the FRS and its great. I'm loving it, manual transmissions are common in the cars i like so i'm not worried about it, its supremely rare to see a great AT in a car under $60K. Dare i say this is the first great automatic to be seen in a car under 30K in the history of autos.

Manual Transmissions are dying but thats mostly because they don't suit needs of high performance vehicles as they use to. Though they will always be around, don't let anyone tell you other wise.

That's awesome advice!

The BRZ definitely changed the way I looked at AT cars. I have a AT impreza and that thing is shit compared to the BRZ AT

hehe...

Thats the problem, so many people are use to bad AT that we simply dismiss them as all bad slush boxes, but this one is different. Though we are blessed to have a choice of a great MT and AT on the twins...

I've owned enough manual cars, and good automatics (DSG GTI), to know that I'm perfectly happy having bought my auto BRZ.

I absolutely LOVE my MT Firestorm, I learned how to drive stick shift on an 06 RSX type-S. No regrets at all. If you could find someone to trade with, DO IT!

More like they don't suit the need of the fatuos, lazy American public. Manuals are in fact disproportionately available in high performance vehicles.

It's true that there are very impressive modern automatics out there, but that's a ridiculous statement.

Explain F1.

Are they lazy too?
