Here's Why I Bought an Automatic FRS/BRZ/86 (and Why It's Better Than You Think)

Рет қаралды 79,615

The automatic transmission in the Subaru BRZ, Scion FRS, and Toyota 86 is commonly hated for the wrong reasons. In short, the manual is always going to be the more fun, more engaging car. The automatic has both its draw backs and its benefits. In this video, we go over why I bought an automatic and why it's better than you think!

@BRZguy Жыл бұрын

I can definitely see the benefits and the appeal of getting the auto version. Everyone will be able to drive it, and if you want a little bit more control, you can do so with the paddle shifters. And in sport mode it actually doesn't sound half bad! A lot of automatics sound really distinctive and not as cool as manual, but the BRZ seems to get the sound close. Personally I went with manual just because it's what I found, and I didn't want to let it stop me from getting a good car and learning a new skill. So I learned on my car and I don't regret it one bit!

Yup. Love mine, when you throw it in sport and manual it doesn’t feel like you’re missing out on anything! And It’s a cool touch that you’re able to shift with the stick too. Most of my friends who have driven my car have no idea how to use it properly and start judging it after driving a few minutes on regular drive, but then I teach them how to use sport + manual and their opinions completely change lol. Plus you have the convenience of regular drive when you’re feeling super lazy

I got an automatic 2020 86 GT. Went with auto because I don't have experience with manuals and I live in an area with some of the worst traffic in the county and I needed it to be my daily driver because I can't afford to have two cars. Honestly as much as I think I would enjoy driving manual, the fact that an auto lets me choose between letting it shift for me and manually shifting it myself is what makes it so much more daily drivable. It might be slower to 60, but honestly unless you're doing illegal street racing or taking it to the track all the time, who TF cares?

Toyota is actually very interested in pushing automatic transmissions for this car. All the publications and critics agree that auto 86 is stiffer than manual 86 in Japan. Stiffness order of the car goes like, 86 auto, 86 manual, BRZ manual, BRZ auto in Japan. Toyota really wants the auto to do well even in trucks. I think I’ll go for BRZ auto as a do all except track car. A feel good car wherever you are.

For some reason, the second gen honda fit sport had a true 5 speed auto only the 1st and 3rd gens got a cvt, the second one didn’t, and its just like the brz. In drive and not in sport mode the shifts are smooth and sloppy like how you say it, but in sport and manual mode, you have that fast pop between shifts snd is just as snappy as the brz :) and sounds like a dct. It doesn't have auto rev matching though, i have to do it lol

@MrSodaBelly have you driven the manual version? Cause if you haven't then idk if you can really make that much of a real opinion compared. Not to mention you will be way slower than the manual surprisingly. I raced my trd 86 (just a miffler delete against an auto brz with headers and a tune and we were even the whole time. Once I saw that I realized just how slow the auto is. If you haven't driven one, I don't think you can really form a true opinion. Just seems like a justification of the purchase. But I could be wrong but everyone I've let drive my car lose their shit when I mention that you can buy it in auto. Not to sound mean but even my mom drove it and told me she's glad the TRD edition only comes in manual cause you'd be an idiot not to get it for a lightweight roadster cause it's literally half the fun😅.

Auto has better fuel economy and should be more reliable in the long run (no clutch to wear out). 👍

Automatic with the power to shift it when you want ? ? Why get a manual 🤣

To fully enjoy this car the way it was designed is to get it in standard.

Not true

@MrBlackYoshi Ай бұрын

sounds like cope! i drive in terribly trafficked california and drive a stick everyday while i have no problems at all! many “modern” automatics in “performance” oriented vehicles are faster than their manual counterparts but it’s not true for the 86 or anything older. Newer BMWs Mustangs Camaros Porsche Hyundais ect all have a superior autos “or dct” compared to the manual but manual will always be much more fun that flicking a paddle. Modern autos “if not cvt” are bassically the same exact thing as the 86.

Not the same as owning a manual. To each their own.

If you’re not buying a car for performance and speed, don’t plan on racing or modding the motor too much then get an automatic.

thats a FALSE statement. My MKIV Supra is 900 whp with a built Automatic transmission ... Are you saying its not for performance and speed ??

@@Babaloots my comment was telling you that you CAN race and modify the motor even in an automatic. You seem to think that automatic cant me raced or modified. Automatic can be a lazy daily driver and it can also be a 6 second 1/4 mile monster.
