I'm test driving the GTS AT next week so hopefully with paddles it's more engaging. Just wondering what your opinion of that was? If I'm disappointed I might sell my car in a few months and jump on the waiting list for a MT 86/BRZ.
Sydney traffic is shit.....that's prompt lots of 86 buyer go for AT instead of MT.....my working hours is a bit off the 9-5 routine so i wouldn't suffer much like u did and im going against the traffic......except for someday finish work early will stuck in the 5pm rush.....

It's ur call sticky, i would love to be more engage whenever i drive my 86 ( once i got it ) if i know i would be shit by that particular day traffic, i still have my ninja to split the traffic.....haha.....have a camry, that's a AT as i wanna relax with it, not going to national park winding road......haha....

A good mate of mine did something similar and is likely getting a silver or grey GT manual in the next week or two.. Asshole haha :P
He is just finalising finance now.
yes and of that 100,000 the ratio is 10(Toyota):1(Subaru)
