Manual vs Automatic GR86

Was curious how many people here who are ordering/reserving or put down a deposit for an Automatic vs a Manual GR86 ??

Just what every car forum needs, another thread that will surely wind up debating the merits of both.

I think a flat grayish gray with gray pearl coat is best.

What I really would like to debate (and bemoan) is the loss of manual windows. I only feel engaged when I roll my own...

ugm....

we are still talking about windows right?

Hey, give the OP a break. It's a worthy thread if just for the up-to-date poll. Have to lol at the 85-15 split after 41 votes, considering Sub/Toyota have dropped the figure for manual vs. auto for the first gen as 85% vs 15%. Tracks well

Its not my car but the girlfriends. SHe is buying it in AT as she doesnt know how to drive MT (not for lack of trying) and we also live in a high traffic area so for her she wanted an AT even if she knew how to drive MT since this will be her daily.

i absolutely would've gotten the car with manual windows, had it been offered.

i'm not afraid of cranking it from time to time.

Manual windows, manual locks, no a/c, no infotainment, no cruise control, no abs, hydraulic steering, no key fob. I'll keep the LED headlights and backup camera though.
