I have an automatic and get so much hate for it BUT I love it and I don’t regret buying an Auto, yes Manual is more fun but not when I drive everyday in traffic. Soooo many people gave me crap about why I should have gotten manual. What makes is worse is that I’m a girl so I get a lot of negative stuff said to me. It’s so draining because I don’t care.

I learned how to drive manual on an '80s Ford Probe, and I liked it. But let me tell you ... once I experienced paddle-shifting, it opened up a whole new world. You get the control of shifting exactly when you want to and keep the feel of being directly connected to the engine and the wheels, without having to tap-dance with the pedals. The only time this car isn't in Manual mode is when it's in Park or Reverse. I bought my 2016 BRZ Limited Auto (paddle shift) in 2022. I wanted first-gen because I don't like the duck-bill spoiler on the second-gen. Even the extra horsepower and torque wasn't enough to sway me to get the newer version. Mine was also a great buy, as it only had 13.8k miles on the odometer and it had a clean title. I love driving this car, even during Minnesota winters. It's absolutely the best car I've ever had. My new transmission preferences: 1. Paddle-shift Auto 2. Manual 3. Auto
