I have fun in the FR-S driving at the speed limit like no other car I had.

It just feels like nothing else, taking corners without braking is amazing even at 30 kmh.

Take away the hint of "faster" that the SI has over the FR-S, and you have no reason to go with the SI after

I drove both, ended up with the 6AT and have no regrets.

I'm guessing if you think the 6AT is gutless it's because you were driving it "wrong". Only place I could tell a real difference is 0 to 5MPH, and that's because of the Nanny on all autos that keep you from brake revving at full brakes. Once you figure out the 3/4 brake start, even that isn't that much different. Beyond that, I prefer the auto because I like keeping both hands on the wheel in corners (which is what I bought the car for).

As has been been beaten to death here, resurrected, beaten to death again, zombified, and beheaded, different strokes...

Yah the handling on the frs blows my Si it handles way better. I just don't like automatic transmission feel that's why I will definitely be getting the 6MT.

I owe 18k on my Si I think I over paid for it even I put 5000$ cash down. Really regretting this there is no way I can sell my Si for what I paid for it that's why I am looking to trade it in.
