Well if you review all the 99,000 threads we've had on this subject there is plenty of name calling for AT drivers as well. I wouldn't get to hurt by it.
In the end, its usually a MT purist that kicks the horse first. I'm personally bi-gearist making me a member of the ATMT community. I enjoy them both and can see the advantages/disadvantages of both.

I’m not hurt. I just think people miss the point in why people prefer manuals and in general this miss-conception is going to completely kill the manual. |

If talking MT over AT in almost any other car I would sing a different song but the ATs in these are not your average Corolla and the car can be every bit as fun. Demeaning people that go AT with comments such as “don’t know how to drive” is not going to save the MT from extinction in the Western Hemisphere no matter how passionate a very small minority may be in the subject.

I Bought an automatic brz and wanted to explain why.

Specifically the miss-conception that driving enthusiasts buy a car purely for a spec sheet. It isn’t worth killing the fun just to shave .1 off the 1320. That’s my opinion anyways. |

One of the guys even thought the foot rest was the clutch.... and told me "Yeah, I could never drive manual in traffic, it would be too hard. You're foot was on the clutch the entire time"... I followed with simply: "That's the foot rest." and he immediately regretted buying an AT Mustang.

I only buy manuals because that's the best anti-theft device out there.
