I meant nasty hills (I live in SF hence the reference) but traffic is a good way to practice too. Think of it as a game and try to nail each "launch" from neutral to rolling.

2) If you find a performance exhaust that does not drone at 3k rpm let me know.

3) First manual? When I bought this car I had not driven a manual for ~7 years. It is very forgiving and really easy to relearn on.



Idk...the '15 STI (hatchback) is starting to grow on me. Maybe once the BRZ is paid off

Careful, there. That's not necessarily true.
Windshields and windows should have UV protection. That's why Transition lenses don't work inside the car.

What a coincidence, I did the same thing lol. Was waiting at a light for a left turn and wasn't paying attention when it turned green. Everyone in front had already started going so I let out the clutch abruptly to get going quickly but didn't give it enough gas and stalled. Truck behind me started honking but I was able to make the light before turning red. Everyone behind me must of thought I was a douche lol.

I have an ARK Grip and it has no drone period.

There is no 2015 hatchback.

I'm deciding between several different exhausts at the moment but I will let you know.

I've driven manual before and recently, just never as my daily. I have steep hills on my campus that are intimidating

Get clear tint. Like Suntek 80 or Llumar Air 80 Blue or 3M Crystalline 70. It's clear but rejects all the heat and IR Rays.

IMO one of the best on the market. Highly recommend. No drone, quiet when cruising and idle, roars when you want it to. Granted I only have the cat back so it might be a bit louder/prone to drone with a full setup. But from what I've heard, drone is kept to the minimum.

[Ganthrithor]

Milltek's catback doesn't drone, provides a modest power increase, is lighter than the stock system by several pounds, and looks good too!

I tend to view traffic as mobile cones.

Hills... are interesting. Especially when you're having to negotiate them on ice. I actually really enjoy the lightness and high-engagement of the clutch. Coming from chunky, heavy clutches in the WRX and Forester XT, the BRZ's reminds me of my STI's, which was a higher engagement, though not as light if I recall correctly.

I actually wouldn't mind a hill-holder option. I liked it on my Forester.
