Supercharged Scion FR-S Automatic - One Take
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- This 2014 Scion FR-S is set up to be a well rounded, fun daily driver in Los Angeles. It has a Jackson Racing supercharger kit good for 280 WHP and 220 lb/ft at the wheels, which is just enough to make the lightweight FR-S feel quick. It has a host of complimentary handling, stopping, and chassis mods, but what makes this FRS different is that it's the first time Matt's reviewed an Automatic car. Turns out, the Automatic is very good when driven hard!
Check out the FRS on Wheelwell!

we need more people like this in the car scene. This guy is honest and does not bring his ego. He had no problem admitting he did not know how to drive a manual at the time. I see all of these angry comments on the fact that it is an auto, but why not give him credit for not being a damn poser like most of the people who are commenting on this video. just my two cents
Rawkem Sawkem he had to clarify bc he knew people would talk but they still talk😂
Rawkem Sawkem if you put a manual shift boot on it, youre posing
Triggered
I'm impressed to hear the auto is good. Who cares anyway it's his car.
He didn't put that on. Toyota made it look like a manual from the factory.
All the people giving this guy shit about driving auto are babies. All of my cars are manual and I learned to drive on an auto, hell, I swapped a manual in an automatic 'cause it's fun. But i'm NOT going to give someone shit because they don't drive with a manual. You people are unbelievable. Support the guy and his car, that's what the channel is about... cars... not whether or not you're driving a manual.
youtubasoarus sad that's the dark side of the 86/BRZ community some trying to shove there believes on you it's toxic already why can't we all be happy with choices isn't that what good old USA is about freedom of choices ladies and gentlemen.
youtubasoarus automatics feel so wrong though
Exactly. I have a manual can and daily drive an FR-s that is auto... I honestly prefer it in auto. Manul mode is so good, I can't believe it's not a DCT transmission. For anything but a few merges and fun moments, auto does just fine.
Car culture can be really shitty.
it feels "so wrong" for YOU lol, for this guy and other people it feels just right.
He got an automatic because it's what he wanted and it's his money, get over it guys
No shit. Why does anyone buy anything.
Robert Wolfe read all the other comments of people bashing him
Jessie Ferreira it's because people think they have to prove something
i don't blame the guy, for a daily driver in a high traffic area id get an auto.
Ashish Patel Exactly! I grew up in San Diego traffic and have had my fair share of trips through L.A. and that's some serious traffic for a manual car!!
Manual fanboys are the worst. There's nothing wrong with driving a stick, it has it's pros and cons just like an auto does but you never see anyone whining about "why did you have to get the manual!" it's always people complaining that someone got an auto. Just drive what you like. Auto transmissions keep getting better anyway so on newer cars it's more appealing than ever.
Conor Naranjo I'm no automatic transmission enthusiast but you really must suck at drifting if you think a clutch kick is needed to drift
Conor Naranjo i heard kicking the clutch isnt bad for the drivetrain. deadass
the only people who chirp automatics are typically little children (like @tim here) and virgins who still think they are cool if they drive stick.
ye the tiptronic on bmws is pretty nice it has similarities to a sequential gearbox if you shift with the lever, you can't compare these new automatics to slow, old ones but manuals are always the most fun
auto all the way, i could go stick in my fbody drag car but auto for drag is best, road racing id go manual or a th400 just depends on the use of the car
at least he's being honest admitting that he doesnt know how to drive a manual at the time. not like all the "trolls expert" here saying they are "the experts" when it comes to driving a manual, and says auto's are for pussy's. when some of them doesn't even have a sports car, a modified car, dont know how to drive, dont know how to drive a manual , drive auto's themselves. or doesnt even have a car.. lol.
dranel valle most people do have manuals. It's so damn easy. If u can't drive a manual something is wrong with you and u probably shouldn't be into cars altogether.
Why does everyone care so much. Can you not see that everyone regardless of transmission or vehicle brand enjoy the same thing, driving.
JDMteggy what if your first car is a dual clutch lol. Would they be a poser too?
There's nothing wrong with buying an auto if that's your transmission of choice, but this guy made it sound like he did want the manual, but was too scared to buy it and learn on it. That to me, is stupid.
Yeah I think there is definately something wrong with me. I totally should just stop being into cars because my car is an automatic, even though I'm learning more and more every day about them by working on my Volvo. Thanks for the inspiration fam.
/s
Love how all of these hypocrites give a lot of shit for being an automatic. But you see them in a GTR video drooling over "ZOMG GTR best car evarrrr" even though its an automatic.
Well there's no other choice though..... Manual would probably feel like having the power of God's.
not all automatics are the same, this slush box is not a dct like the gtr in ANY way other than the lack of 3rd pedal.
Brembo Z it still is an automatic... no clutch no rowing gears which is what all of you are whining about.
you'll be surprised how many people think that the r35 is manual.. lol
r35 is dct which is a auto manual. it still use clutch disk. while the frs uses a regular auto Trans.
This should be a nice daily driver. It's not noisy and for the traffic, auto trans. Even if kids say "auto is bullshit", think it's a well modified car.
I like it too. fast cars at the strip are auto....just putting that out there
+GG its fun to turn off your mind and just drive, without thinking to anything else.
@1:03 Yup.... "I got the auto because I don't know how to drive stick"... Automakers aren't making sticks anymore because people are lazy.... Get one while you still can, electric cars will never be manual.
+Cebastien Larochelle People that know how to drive manuals well do no more conscious thought than those in a automatic have to. It becomes the normal, and I never think, "Oh, what gear am I in, and which am I going to?" It just happens the same as knowing to press the gas or break.
funkingitup but you need to know how. 1 out of 10 really know how. others just think to know how and break transmissions and burns clutch. not every people want to know it. they just dont care. even if you tell me that the auto transmission is bad. SOMEONE on the earth will buy it. there's a reason why many car manufacturers make less manual transmissions.
These comments are mostly people defending this guys choice in transmission and telling others to lay off and I can't actually seem to find anyone actually bashing him.
Good
Honestly, I like his car's set-up. Driving a manual daily gets tiring esp in heavy traffic. I should've purchased an automatic instead of manual. So 2 thumbs up to this auto frs and thumbs down to you haters. Hahahahah
D Manalang I live in the Midwest, where there's no traffic and long open roads. I would never own another auto, for as long as I live here. But driving a stick in any large city? Forget that :P
D Manalang I live in Miami and I would never take an auto over my manual WRX lol. Personal preference tho I don't judge, to each their own.
Bro, I feel your pain... manual transmissions suck in the city.
My next car is going to be an auto for sure.
lazy ass emuricans :D
wickedroman Has nothing to do with being lazy, it is just frustrating grinding out first and second gear at 24kph.(15mph) My daily commute is over 128km (80miles) round trip.
He put the money in the right places. Brakes must be unreal. There's nothing like a torque converter in traffic so no shame there
Tedward and half a second slower then the manual is not that bad
Buy whatever makes you happy. Life is short be happy.
Loving the FRS. Great car. I had a hard decision deciding between the Jackson kit and the vortech Kit. I went with the vortech, also an off the shelf tune. I own a manual, FRS, and personally That's all I enjoy driving, But I respect the fact that you got an automatic. Dick wads need to respect the fact that we all have our preferences. At the end of the day you own a dope ass ride. Supercharged!
True. He got what will benefit him and peoples are acting like they paid for his car lol.
Is the Vortech CARB approved?
being disabled now and no longer to drive a manual any more i am pleased to see this
thank you

Matt Farah for the queen in the uk!
Repeal the chicken tax and 25 year import law!
Heardcuh first thing he would do scrap all import laws haha
Murder5.0 oh no we gotta bail big threes again.
I have 6 cars and none are automatics. I'm not in traffic often but when I am, God I wish I had an automatic.
Dude getting stuck in traffic for over 3 hours while shifting between 1 and 2, my left leg is like 😭
Totally !!!!!!!!!!! That why I said fuck it automatic f manual is for no traffic areas here in south fl traffic sucks
This is why u cant even drive manual in north Jersey. It's literally not even worth it in New Jersey. We are worse than LA. Theres not even roads worth driving. Fuckin sad
I know how to drive stick but I got an automatic 2016 Mustang cuz I was lazy. I feel ya man haha.
Jay Milligan lol, thats the best reason to get an auto. especially if you commute often.
hudson fox Everyday, through streets. It would just be too annoying haha. And like this FRS, it too has paddle shifters if I really desire haha.
Jay Milligan I have an auto and manual. I daily the manual 60 miles both ways in traffic in Chicago to and from work. It only sucks when there is traffic.
msladek1385 I have a friend who drives manual and does that kind of intense mileage everyday, he's actually the one who taught me how to drive stick. But yeah at that point you do become used to it and not even really think about it. Traffic though, ugh haha
Unfortunately that's the smart choice on the 11+ mustangs. The mt82 is a huge pile of shit, so your choices are either t56 or 6r80. I did an auto swap and I hate it but I blew up two mt82's and made a split second decision, in hindsight I shoulda gone t56. Live and learn.
I'm not usually huge on A/T budget sports cars but this one is tasteful and clean. I'm actually semi impressed.
At least he honest saying he just didn't know how to drive manual at the time. Most people with auto sports cars try to come up with some bs excuse..like "it's faster" it's a daily"I did it to piss people off"
invinciblejets if a manual driver doesn't flat foot shift then a modified auto is a bit faster. A stock slushbox is horrible and doesn't come close to beating a manual.
GKWunder This is heavily dependent on the actual transmission though, not just a modified vs stock thing. Many autos are outright dog shit, some will beat any human with a manual
Ryan Hard i agree with you 100%, and by modified auto I mean a stall converter, upgraded clutches, a billet intermediate shaft, and a transmission tune for better shift points. With a manual you can launch at any rpm and control the shifting.
well automatics are faster and more consistent, why do you think lambos and ferraris have no option for manual?
but manuals are more fun...
Honestly people complain so much , its totally none of your business if he got an auto , who buys a car to please others ? you buy it to please yourself , after all you' re the one who's gonna live with it.
Mo Lo should have gotten the manual
Mo Lo they act like they paid for it no joke.
Agreed 100%. But unfortunately once you share a car on youtube with an automatic...well...the interwebz happens. Someone always gotta complain.
That said, I really like this build. CARB legal?! Awesome. I would prefer to do this to a BRZ myself. I am assuming the same supercharger is also applicable?
Perhaps I'm just getting old, but I appreciate this car.

People that hate autos have 90s ford Taurus and honda Odysseys in their yards
The fuck are you talking about?
Ian Sabolic the people that hate on autos aren’t true enthusiasts. They’re people that have a superiority complex and haven’t got any other skills to be proud of, so they obnoxiously gloat about learning to use a clutch to change gears.
I hate autos. I have a CRX b16 swap and a fiesta st, both manual. It's just more fun (to me).
But would I sped time ripping on some dude with an auto on the internet? Nah.
You probably shouldn't fight fire with fire either.
at least we drive stick
@@carlosandleon so you feel special because of that?
I've reviewed a couple of supercharged FRS/BRZ and enjoyed them quite a lot. JRSC and decent tires give the car just what it needs, 80+ more hp and mechanical grip. Gives a mildly modified S2000 a run for its money.
Zygrene an s2000 is from 1999 lol u fuckin frs loonies
S15 smash these stupid things all day
Also a 90s car
Basically an s14 an early 90s car
Jimmy The Greek bruh on most tracks their literally one second apart lap time wise go check out some lap records on google
Jimmy The Greek non car guy
Jimmy The Greek an s2000 can be better then a 911 but you wouldn’t call a Porsche shit right?
I don't even know what to think about some of these comments.... you Auto/DCT haters are more fascinating than even the most elusive animals on the planet. I don't understand you all and the blind troll-like hatred you have. I've got a car with DCT, and never for even one second did I regret *not* buying a manual car. I can shift the car with the shifter itself of course, which I find totally engaging.
Why do I need a third pedal to "have more fun" or to make me a "real car enthusiast".
The transmission does what I want it to the majority of the time, but it's computer controlled so there is the rare chance that it'll have a mind of it's own. I can also use the paddles, but they're clearly cheaply made and creak like an old hardwood floor..
Just face it folks, modern day DCT's are better than a manual..
But they really should offer a package/trim level similar to this from the factory via TRD AND STI. Toyota/Subaru would make a ton of money off of selling factory modified BR-Z's/FR-S' and it could all warrantied as well, and you'd still have your normal factory warranty. Sure it would have a much higher sticker price, but you'd have the piece of mind that you own something that was done "right".
Doogie H Where did I say I hate automatics? I friggen own one.
Simple because these children feel there right and you're wrong type of mentality we're dealing with today not just in cars anymore but politics, phone and he'll even operating systems.
Oh I agree if you commute in your car sitting in stop and go traffic everyday with a manual transmission is no fun. If you have a commuter car and a weekend car by all means get a manual.
Jeff K its hard to convince these blind manual only or nothing cults with there right and your wrong mentality right up there with religion fanatics in terms of closed mindedness.
Fun, power, torque, stopping power, handling and daily driveability in heavy traffic without killing your left foot. Mad.
Windshield crack! 12 o'clock!

Every time i hear you say good morning everybody i just wanna get myself a cup of coffe and watch the episode in fullscreen. Great videos man, keep it up!
There are many people that race automatic 86 (frs) at the circuits here in Japan
is it as reliable compared to a manual? i have this problem with the new mazda rf. it only comes in automatic here in the Philippines so im curious about its potential on the race track.
I don't know what to say. I don't know much about that car. It should be ok if you keep the car stock. Research more before you buy. Take care and good luck
If people are still watching this, Aron sold this car and now drives a manual BRZ.
Nice car and a good modified setup. Aaron...congrats on your cool ride
lol at these people bitching about it being an automatic...I drive a manual because I prefer it AND I DON`T DRIVE MUCH IN A MAJOR CITY, being in his situation living in LA id get an automatic as well. even with a audi which has a hydraulic clutch I hate to drive in toronto traffic
gardiner or 401 in rush hour traffic...
It makes total sense to buy an automatic for that purpose, but it doesn't make much sense to buy a BRZ as an automatic commuter. The choice does suck though for those that can't get a beater.
dude my last car was a 1994 mustang gt 5 speed, I hit traffic on the 401 and fucking hell my left leg cramped up...didn`t help that my mustang had an upgraded clutch as well
Mo Savage Death Valley Parkway In morning traffic is not nice
He said he was gonna troll the internet. Comment section full of "Automatic? Why? Gross! No fun!"
W for you, Aaron
That glass chip though..😎
It's just a bird flying in front of the car, on the same path..
@TheM3csl I didn't even catch that till you noticed it lol..well time to turn the brightness up on this bitch
I hate the stigma with auto cars. This FRS is awesome. I drive an auto but only because it's my first car and it never came in manual. I get so much shit, but I love cars just as much as the next guy.
Just take your lumps, and we'll see you on the other side when you get your manual.
Dope! It's cool to see something different than a turbo manual.
Kids who think their hardcore manual gods will never understand or appreciate that.
loveever89 I mean manual is engaging and fun, but what's wrong with having both options?
Turboxide Some people just like to be more involve with the car.
Yes finally a automatic
Coming from lots of manuals and having to daily drive them in shit traffic, I totally support buying an auto anything as a daily, shifting gets old REALLY fast when you are stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for at least 45 mins a day.
Jesus, the amount of hate for the auto is ridiculous. Look, we get it, manual is great and unicorns will rain down from the sky if you drive manual etc etc. But there are many REAL reasons to get the auto over the manual. Like fuel economy (my dads auto does 31 combined), commute a lot in traffic and cant be bothered with rowing gears. Barely negotiated with the wife in the first place (who doesnt drive manual) so you got auto.
The car in auto still drives and shifts great. Not quite the level of the manual but I'm really tired of the: "lol guiz its an auto it suckzzz" circlejerk
Aybars Gungor im pretty sure the manual transmission gets better mpg, it depends on how you drive it.
Bryan R you would be wrong there. the automatic is geared longer which helps on the highway. The manual is rated for 22/30 auto is rated for 26/34. How you drive is certainly relevant but the auto has higher potential mpg regardless. Not important for many, but it definitely is for others.
You really talking about MPG with a car with a blower on it and added downforce (less aerodynamic) which both KILL MPG? Oh, ok
Aybars Gungor hmm that actually sound about right. my average hwy/city is 27.6 right now. which is a little bit above average for a manual. i guess autos would be getting somewhere around 30 on average. I guess manuals having better mgp is a thing of the past now. Still i would prefer driving a manual....except in traffic, that shit sucks lol. but on that note, i could think of many many cars i would like to have over an fr-s that would be better suited for daily driving or "REAL reasons", as you put it, in traffic. if you wanted practicality than the fr-s/brz/gt86 isn't really that car. The car really only comes alive in curvy roads and when doing that i personally believe having a manual makes that experience that much better. plus its a whole second faster.
GUUUUUUUNGOOOOOOOOOOR
buckling the rear seat belts increases stiffness
b better center of gravity
@@mojojoji5493 even better center of gravity when you fold down the back seat and the exhaust sounds better too
Eze&Yare Dominguez 16 inch wheels instead of 17 even lower and better center of gravity
Eze&Yare Dominguez remove the headlight for better drag coefficient and cooling
Eze&Yare Dominguez rear view mirror delete for lower center of gravity
Honestly I can't believe how salty people are about his choice in transmission. It's his car, if you like manual good for you. Dont need to tell people what they should get.
Been looking at a mild supercharger, and some very tame exhaust. This video is exactly what I've been trying to find!
If it was his "fun" car, I'd understand the hate, but he dailies the car in LA. How many of you would want to drive a manual through stop and go traffic everyday.
I wouldn't even blame him if it was his fun car because you know its HIS car not ours.
Yup I daily my DSG Golf R in the second most traffic-congested city in North America after LA, and no way in heck would I ever go back to manual for my daily driver (owned two manual cars and a motorcycle).
TheWaldowski - I drove a 2014 Accord V6 manual for 2 years in Atlanta traffic. I only got rid of it because the seats suck. The stop and go traffic didn't bother me.
With that being said who cares if this guy wanted an automatic transmission. It's his car and his money.
I do, every day 405 SB at 3:30 PM...
I wouldn't get an 86 then, I'd get a DSG GTI. 86s personally I would never get auto
Nice guy who owns the car. Most performance guys wouldn't consider this combo so and interesting review.
And I love the setup it's clean and straight to the point great job. I love his honesty as well. Take note if you guys read about the pos slushmatic the shift programming inputs came from LFA and shifts at 200 ms.
I still don't understand why people are so narrow minded about autos, especially modern ones. I totally understand that nothing beats good ol" gear banging, but for some of us that have to sit in traffic on a daily basis it can be a burden. Also if numbers matter to you double clutch beats any manual shift. Even conventional autos these days are programmed exceptionally to down shift or up shift almost closely as you wish it to be.
eeshunique "closely" . in a manual however you control the car. You drive the car. It doesnt drive you like an auto. If u want an automatic car get a honda economy car. If you want a sports car/ fun car get a manual.
As a driving enthusiast, I love a manual as much as the next person. However, there are good/great manuals out there too that do not detract from the driving experience! Good video :D
Ahh, yes. There are indeed good manuals that dont detract from other manuals. :)
Haha, dang I suck! Good/great *automatics* :o
And here come the people bitching that its an automatic.... Ironic thing about people who drive standards... they want everyone else to drive one, but they never want to teach anyone. "Bro your gonna grind my gears, bro your gonna pop my clutch". Their all so uptight about it, unless your car is a piece of shit, I doubt someone is going to fuck up your precious standard transmission in one ride. Standard is fun, but the cult it's created is so fucking pathetic.
Bob Dole I drive only manual cars and I will never buy an automatic and I offer to teach people how to drive manual all the time, I've taught 4 people so far. Most people I know who drive a manual car would gladly offer to teach someone who wants to learn
k teach me how where do you live
I went from a manual to an auto, I respect this guy's choice
what car manual to auto?
I drive my auto FRS more than my manual Integra cus manual is simply tiring driving as a DD especially in daily traffic / commute. I've got the best of both worlds.
I took the bullet and got a 2016 manual wrx never driven anything like it before and will never go back best decision ever made
I will say if you don’t know how to drive manual but want it, GET IT you’ll learn quickly
Matt: Let's Go For a drive.
(Floors it out the parkinglot)
I need to get on this man's level
I bought my 370z not knowing at all how to drive manual and I learned the same night.
Man I love this road, weather looks amazing!
too bad people didnt care as much about the election as they do about this guy's transmission choice..
Andre G we did care, that's why we elected Mr Trump.
Peter Welsh cringe as fuck how’s that wall coming along? Did the gofundme reach a billion yet?
Great build! Love the mods that were done to this car!
The owner of the car was right, he trolled the fuck out of the internet.
I like when Matt is genuinely happy lol.
Manual ego ruins the car comunity
I own a auto gr86 and i love it
Well we just want you to see how fun it is to drive stick, especially a stick sports car
@@ellisjackson3355 "We" nah, im not one of yall going around putting people down because they choose not to shift. im talking about people calling others "pu$$y"
@@SilverMoon1134 uhhh.... are you telling me that I put people down because they drive automatic?
@@ellisjackson3355 Initial comment says "Manual Ego" so if you say "Well WE", then yes, now i make the assumption.
Clean build!! Auto FRS with power is prolly a fun daily
I feel like as far as fun and handling goes, once I move on from my RX8, the only comparable driving experience would be a BRZ/FRS. Less power than the RX8, but way better gas mileage.
Bet that automatic would smash most manual 86 owners in a drag race.
given that it's a supercharged one, sure. You clearly don't know anything about cars.
Yeah... Probably cause it's supercharged... smh
That not the point.
doesn't change his point, it would win even on a track. Unless its a drift event, manual = slower.
Conor Naranjo I completely agree. I was replying to op. What you typed is exactly what I was thinking in my head. Dude payed for half of the experience when he bought that car, but it's his money so whatever.
I'm a manual zealot, but the auto in these things is actually pretty decent. Not ZF good, but pretty close.
As someone with an E46 M3 SMG I have to say that this Auto is pretty close to matching it as a transmission. I've driven an FR-S before and they're LOVELY to drive, but always could use more power.
Half the comments complain about the auto. The other half complain about the people complaining about the auto.
Honestly, an auto is perfrctly fine, but modifications on it are a bit of a waste of money.
Furkan Turfanda auto doesn't make sense on a car like this, it's like an automatic Miata.
Furkan Turfanda so tuning an automatic makes it slower then tuning a manual?
stanley oleyte yes, power gains are less effective on traditional automatics.
Furkan Turfanda then why is the automatics 0-60 and 0-hundred faster
stanley oleyte It isn't...
Great setup! I really have my eye on the Jackson Racing supercharger. Seems like the most reliable boost for a daily.
Nice FR-S, the owner just need to fix that small crack in the middle of the windshield 👌🏻
cracks #becauseracecar i have a bunch on mine from driving on the track and in the canyons
I have a kraftwerks supercharged frs... similar setup except my car is manual. I love it. Have to admit this auto looks fun!
All the people complaining about the people complaining about the people complaining about the people complaining about the people who drive automatics.
even without a supercharger it is fun and engaging, Matt can be full of it sometimes
All those mods and a bargain basement torque converter auto box. SMH.
I've never driven one of these but Matt said it was like the ZF 8 speed. That thing is damn good, I had a BMW dual clutch for a year and I'd easily say the zf 8 speed is comparable to it.
+Ryan Hard when I drove it, I think the 8ZF still had the better response time. 8ZF is damn quick for a slush box
Im so glad i own one of these
i drove a stick for a long time before i learned to drive an automatic
Don't knock this guy for the automatic, at least he owns it.
And guys there's nothing like putting your foot down on the gas and not having to worry about anything.
Respect to this guy, his car is better than the trolls hating on it
It's a daily driver car.
As much as i love Manual reaction and speed, if it my daily driver car which used to deal with sucky traffic, i'll go with auto.
Happiness is the key. Manual owners are more likely to be depressed and angry, especially in traffic daily.
The 86 is my dream car but living in the uk they are pretty expensive for me. nice to know i could go with the cheaper auto and still be happy ;)
Silly question but how did you mount the gopro to the dash?
Meteorian it's mounted on the windshield with auction cups
Ahhhh Its so obvious! Thanks for answering that!
TheSmokingTire suction cups
theguythatcould can they suck other things than just the window? 😶
I'm simply buying the automatic version because they city I'm in is bumper to bumper, plus the car looks dope.
There are more people complaining about people complaining that it's an automatic than actual people complaining that it's an automatic. Just thought I'd point that out
Robert Rowley true haha
i prefer to drive with someone when he has an automatic. sometimes when im tired or so i also would like to drive an auto for comfort. what some youtuber kids dont understand because auto is for "90year olds" apparently
GaNgStAlBeRt i think it keeps you thinking about driving, like so you don't get on your phone or anything like that, and i wouldn't want to be too comfortable so i dont fall asleep on a long drive
I respect this guy because he’s honest about not knowing how to drive stick. The thing that pisses me off are these 12 year olds that try to say autos are better than stick just because they can’t drive manual.
Okay automatics are sometimes better but not for this car... Not for the RWD throwback Japanese sports car.
But buy what you want and enjoy sir.
I have driven both auto and manual FR-S a lot and the auto wins hands down. I don't care how fast you shift, you can't beat the auto paddle.
Nice car!
Enjoy your ride, man!!!!
Respect!
WTF-people avoiding learning to drive manual cars? Fuck me....
Phoenix Rising Usa...
Gotta hand it to em eh?
homie didn't say he was trying to avoid driving manual, he just didn't know how at the time he bought the car. and honestly, if this dude lives in LA, dailying a stick is probably hell
Is it to complicated for you? lol
I stand by my statement: he avoided learning how to drive a manual.
That crack in the middle of the windshield is driving me crazy...
still do not get why you would get an auto on possibly one of these best manuals available today
Blake Swan it's call personal choice buddy lol keep trolling manual cults
Toyolumpia s okay buddy
What I don't understand is.. You had in mind, you're going to do all those mods to the car, yet you half-ass and get an auto lol.
CheezyGeez omg exactly my thinking! Supercharging a stock na block usually does not make a great daily driver
Again the hypocrisy of some of you. The GTR, AMG-GT, Ferrari, Lambo are autos and yet you hypocrites don't get riled up about it talk about double standards.
I can honestly say I'd buy this car with either gearbox. I'd prefer the manual but the auto is perfectly fine and still fun.
That's exactly the person I pictured driving this lol.
I drive a manual and let me tell you here in LA it is horrendous to drive because of the ridiculous traffic. Smart choice to go for an auto if he’ll be in traffic a lot
i see nothing wrong with the auto, i mean if u dont know how to drive a manual and u can only have 1 car, then auto would be the logical choice. its his money he can do watever he wants.
How would auto be "the logical choice" exactly? countless people chose to dive manual as their DD including myself.
because if you could read, he said if you dont know how to drive manual. internet cool guy
Ven Em I must've missed that part. But either way, learning manual is a pretty easy thing to do. Takes about a week tops. I'm flattered you think I'm an internet cool guy tho, thanks!
I have a '17 manual, some times I wish I had an auto. That said, this car deserves to be driven properly regardless of its transmission.
Subaru BRZ as we know it.....
Besplatna Energija That's right,in Europe....
Gt86
Actually there are slight differences between toyota and subaru version. This is Scion so it's same as Toyota GT86 / FR-S
It is same car,rebadging is ameican stuf....
Nenad Trajković no they're different. Subaru has nicer options vs the frs
Corsa exhaust adds just the right amount of noise 👌
Just came to say thanks for putting automatic in the title so I can skip this one.
I was prepared to give him shit for having an automatic, but he was at least honest. Nice car!
This dude thirsty for Matt's handshakes
Probably more than that if he was offering.
If you don’t know how to drive manual but you want to know, just buy it anyways . I didn’t know how to drive manual either . One day I was looking for a car , found one , told the guy can you teach me and 5 minutes later I had it down . It’s easier than people make it seem .
Is that the AP kit off our old car?
@savagegeese what do you think about an auto in the 86, as well as supercharging an auto? Does it make sense to do this in an auto? Btw, I watched your video about 86, great video.
driving manual is a culture that's recently reviving for this new generation in the USA. Not everyone can catch up with this
These catalogue built, brand new tuner cars are kinda boring. The owners always just nod and say "correct", which gives off the impression that they know jack all about their own cars.
You are right. He probably hasn't turned a wrench in his life.
