Getting popcorn ready for AT vs. MT thread of the week

Without even touching the differences in the car, the WRX is a CVT, which is another beast on it's own.

I've never driven a Subie with a CVT, however. Maybe you should try it out and see if you like the concept

Yes it's a automatic because its a going to be a daily driving car in NYC and sometimes (rarely) my dad might need to drive it.
Why are you asking us? What possible sort of answer could this forum give you?

The real question is: Which one do YOU want?

Incoming flame war...

In this corner! Automatic!
In the other corner! Manual!

Me->

In all seriousness though, I would test drive them both, and see which one fits your needs. The real question is.. Do you want a 4 door AWD? will you need AWD for snow?
or do you want a 2 door coupe?

Yeah, it's more so do you want an frs or wrx... The rest is pretty irrelevant.

Its all up to you man, if you live in nyc (and on the east coast specially) a WRX will be most logical for AWD (better in snow and stuff)

Me, i live in North Jersey and yes i went for the BRZ because its amazing to drive and the twins are sexy as fck. Either way you should get a manual in whatever of the two cars you get IMO.

If you ask frs vs wrx vs rav4. You need a rav4.
It's not possible to consider this 3 cars versus each others.

You mentioned your father, OP. You may have to go with what your father wants to do with his money, unless you can convince him otherwise.

If it's your own money, then do what you want.

Can't ignore it as it was your thought when you made it. If that has changed then you need to ask yourself why not us.

And I am gonna ask Ultra to hunt down and bear hug the first asshat too start the AT vs MT debate for reals.
