Quick piece of our convo: --- original message --- When would a manual FR-S be available to test drive? --- salesman --- I have an automatic here for you to test drive. All you need to do is come in ready to drive one! I can order a manual. It usually takes a month from when you leave me a deposit. Automatic = Manual =

Don't knock it until you try it. For a planetary gearset transmission with a torque converter, it's unbelievably good.
When you test drive it, put the transmission in sport mode and manually shift...

Oh yes & totally not disowning the auto. I just prefer the manual, for my preference. Who knows maybe that will all change after the test drive

I totally wasn't planning on an auto (and this is actually the first auto I've ever owned). I was really suprised.

In my opinion, the test drive shinanigans may be some ageist junk.
First off, I am 23 with a stable job and enough income to finance an FR-S or any sub $45K car. On my initial pass through a few dealers I walked in wearing normal clothes (shorts, polo and flip flops) and hardly anyone gave me the time of day. The next time around I came straight from work in a suit and the reception was much warmer. As a side note, I found Honda and Mazda dealers to be the easiest to deal with and test drive cars without a hard sales pitch. I went with Scion since it's the car I wanted, but I was not impressed with most Bay Area Scion dealers. |

Nissan let me take the 370Z "around the block". Lost a potential customer instantly with that.
