Hello everyone

As a proud FRS owner i was just curious as to what to expect from the MT version of this car?

I drive an AT frs and am going to test drive an MT one tomorrow, what should i expect and look for?

Thanks

for the record my car is still available for sale and trade

Edit...it was for the "clutching and shifting" comment

Worse gas mileage, better acceleration, more "thinking", hill starts, and the joys of that shifter action.

Expect to use your left foot.

A clutch that, as someone put it best, "feels like a broken toilet handle".

I found this funny...

But yea you can expect more brain activity while driving and using the left foot more...

assuming you've driven an MT before, this clutch feels very light (atleast compared to my mini), and everyone who's driven it has stalled it the first time (that's my car in particular, not saying that everyone who drives the 86 stalls it first time out), so be prepared for that

I didn't stall, but when I first stepped on the clutch it felt like it was connected to nothing lol. Once I started my test drive I just drove and shifted it as I normally would with no problems. But it was the lightest clutch I ever pressed.
