True. I guess from my viewpoint, if you like driving a FWD MT Fit, I think a 300+ hp AWD luxury sport sedan won't 'bore' you nearly as much as I think you're worried about, despite being an AT. You'll have all that power on tap. But again, I prefer AT cars for daily commutes. What else was on your list?

no the exact opposite. the fit is slow. that means it keeps me on my toes
because it's entirely my clutch/throttle/gear input that determines how fast the
thing goes. i mess up even a little bit, the impact is huge...i wont be
able to stick a pass.

on a AT car with power, you just step on it... sure that might be fun early
on, but im afraid it will bore me later. no input. just step on gas.

im in no way comparing a fit to the is350. i got the fit as my winter
beater/grocery getter that the dumbarse general public can ding and hit and
i could careless about.

i bought the thing new cash with my allowance.

Not the case in MANUAL MODE. You still have to manually shift on time and in the right gear. If you shift too soon? Not enough power. Too late? Not enough linear tirque for a good performance duration. ManUal mode works purely as a manual without a clutch. You're talking like there's power on tap once in MANUAL mode. Not exactly buddy.

if you cant shift manual mode correctly on a AT car you have reflex/coordination issues...

that is so stupid...
