why

Autoplebs are posers

86 automatic transmission isn't exactly rocket science. torque converter straight out of a basic lexus.

if they made money on them, I can guess why. and at the end of the day, people swapping engines and transmissions will still have a good chassis to build on.

Why the fuck would you give it a boot tho.

One of the most retarded pandering fads ever.

IIRC, only about 30% of FRS/BRZs have a manual transmission. The rest are automatic.

>>16757452

that's brutally wrong

car in your picture isn't an 86 btw.

>>16757458
Got any statics suggesting otherwise?

I never said it was an 86. I think I would know since I own one.

It looks nicer than the layers of plastic sliding over each other. Who cares.

>>16757461

I'll go find you something

I'm ass deep into the car, and from what I've seen alone at dealerships for 4+ years now, there is like 5 manual cars for every automatic

>>16757486
>there is like 5 manual cars for every automatic
That's probably because they're moving the autos faster.

>>16757506

out of 10 people I know own 86/BRZ, only one has an automatic.

guy has owned the car since it was released, and has kept the car bone stock. even bought my OEM wheels so he could have an OE set each of summer and winter tires.

no fucking idea man

Out of the over 100000 made so far, you think only 1/5 are automatic?

You have too much faith in this country. There are plenty of people who are not enthusiasts that buy this car just because it's cute.

>>16757452
It's actually 40% according to a Toyota engineer (or manager or something)
same thing anyway
basically the autos make the profits
without them, the car would have been doomed a long time ago

>1/5 are automatic

2/5 at most I'd honestly believe. the automatics really dont seem common outside of the US. and over here they're the ones still sitting unsold, after the manuals come and go.

bet I could find a new, undriven 2013 automatic here still. and I feel sorry for the dealership that ordered them.

I'm going to get new wheels after I use up the stock tires.

>>16757589
It doesn't bug me desu. I'd rather spend my money on other things.

>>16757420
For women

>>16757626

really? first thing I did when I got the car, was to skid the prius tires into mush. next day I went and ordered some nice 17x9's with the cheapest, nastiest rubber I could proceed to skid more with. stock wheels are just lead heavy, and the way they're sunken into the fender makes my guts hurt.

dont fall for the 18'' meme either, get some 17x8.5 or 17x9. car will handle great and look even greater.

>>16757452
Toyota sales figures show 19.42% of GT86s are auto and 9.1% of BRZs

>>16757664

internationally?

>>16757666
Globaly yes. That's probably dragged up by the USof American't drives.

>>16757420
To troll manual fags XD

>>16757670

figures. I don't believe I've ever even seen or heard of an automatic BRZ before. either on the internet or in real life.

17x9 seems like overkill for a car making 165hp to the wheels. Ideally I would get 16" wheels

>>16757664
I wonder what the number is in the States.

not at all. 17x9 with good 235 rubber is ideal.

put against a car with stock wheels and rubber, they'll give you many seconds more on any track.

>>16757697

16'' is gonna look really bad unless you lower the car significantly. and the softer sidewalls wont do performance any good, it'll outright kill it.

>>16757452
In Canada I found 147 for sale with autos and 206 with manual. Crazy how many autos there are for a car like the 86.

>>16757727
There are a lot of women and girly men who think the 86 is cute but don't care about driving.

jesus rollerblading christ why did you buy an 86 with an autotragic?

no only an autotragic, but one of the worst automatics ever to be put in a modern sports car.

the 86 autotragic literally slows you down by over 1 second accelerating to 60, & the car is already slow as fuck.

fucking kill yourself you human garbage.

This kind of elitist shit is what makes the car community cancer. It's not your car, why the fuck do you care what transmission his car has? As long as he's not running around claiming to be a professional sports car driver or some shit, it shouldn't affect you in any way.

In fact, the automatic Toyaburus are what even keeps the platform profitable for Toyota to even bother investing.

I bet you dickheads don't even own a car.

The whole philosophy behind the 86 is to focus on driver engagement.

Unless that anon is missing a leg there is no reason to buy an automatic 86. It completely misses the entire point of the car. If you want an automatic car go buy a used Lexus.

I would kill myself if my 86 was automatic. It's already slow enough.

Then why does Subaru and Toyota offer an automatic 86?

The FR-S is a slow piece of shit, who cares which transmission you use. Simply owning the car proves how fucking dumb you are.

To make money off of women and teenagers who don't know how to drive stick.

The lotus Evora has an optional automatic transmission too, that doesn't mean that it's a legitimate alternative to the manual version though

To be honest I can't think of any sports cars made today in the States that only offers a manual transmission.

There are soooooo many other cars I would rather commute in than an 86.

Spotted the automatic Miata other.

Some automatic cars make sense, the 86 is not one of them

I challenge anyone in an FRS to beat my APR tuned 1.8t Jetta. hahahaa 300 ft/lbs of torque...

FRS/BRZ/86 are a fucking bad joke. NO power to speak of and mod potential is low because lol no turbo.

I specially look out and pick on these cars because I know I can beat them easy. Id imagine anyone with a V6 Camry does as well.

Do you seriously think anyone buying a 86 cares about straight line acceleration?

Also, what kind of person brags about having 300ft/lbs of torque in a fwd Street car? I bet all that wheelhop off the line is amazing. Enjoy your Jetta anon

>>16758929
>Do you seriously think anyone buying a 86 cares about straight line acceleration?

Man, I cant tell you how many times they try to win stop light races..... so id say at least some of them do.

Ive not dealt with one on a backroad but ive got the GLI suspension and extreme summers on so I doubt id have much of an issue.

You're right the wheelhop is a bitch though.

>>16758781
If you are an adult and you bought an auto brz, never mind that the cars auto... The fact you couldn't get anything other than the high school fuckboi of cars says enough about you.

>>16757664

And how many FR-Ss? I'd reckon that's where the majority of autos lie.

>>16758971

no one cares man, your shits fwd

>>16758971
I do enjoy stop light "racing" cars which I know are faster than mine.
Just for fun. You know, that silly emotion which I bought my car for.

I think that if you enjoy your car, you ain't really bothered by stop light losses.
You just proceed to have a good time in your very own, much beloved car.
Cheers.
