    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.

    I am SURE that even a good automatic from the 90's can shift faster than the 10 fastest manual shifters on the planet.

  • @Rustic_3851
    @Rustic_3851 4 месяца назад +1

    As a GT86 owner, I can confirm that I do have it as an Automatic. This video shows an appreciation, because Manual can be fun too, but it’s based on someone’s preference if they want an Auto.
    Honestly, even if Manual is more of a driver-like feeling, there’s another way of a Racing driver’s feeling which is the paddle shifters in modern Automatic cars, the one that modern racing cars have as their Sequential transmissions.
    The only drawback of an Auto 86 is the Automatic gearbox itself is heavier than the Manual. But I don’t want to care about the weight since I gave it a Borla exhaust upgrade. So thank you very much, brother. 👌🏻
    P.S.: Manual fanboys are being toxic asf.
    Don’t worry, I can drive a Manual too.

      ​@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😅.

    aye bro, if you’re in automatic and let’s say you downshift to 2nd gear floor it would it automatically up shift for you since you’re in automatic? i know when you are slowing down if automatically downshifts but what about the other way around?

      If you’re in automatic, it will. If you are in manual, it won’t.

    I've been scared to use the paddles because i do t know how and no research tells me if I need to downshift before voting to a stop or what speeds to keep it at in each gear any help (this is my daily car if that helps your answer)

    • @nikolaiiaksenov
      @nikolaiiaksenov  3 года назад +2

      The car will downshift for you so it can’t stall. You also can’t do anything that will break the car. It’s all pre programmed to only let you do what is safe
