I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I’m conflicted.

I’ve read that the power this car makes is better suited for the auto transmission, but I’ve also seen videos that say the manual is the more fun option.

I know the CS will be launching with the auto only, so technically I could get a standard M2 in auto, add a tune and I’d be in CS territory.

But then again, if I do a manual, it’s the closest I can get to a 911 GT3 without dishing out 250k+.

What are your opinions?

I have a manual and it’s nice, sometimes in traffic (I daily my g87) I do wish it was an automatic… I think though an automatic it can feel like a Honda Civc just give it gas and go… a manual on the other hand feels like a fast Honda Civic with a manual transmission 🤷🏻‍♂️ lol

NGL your response is confusing. I have no idea if you think manual or auto is better lmao 🤣

I have the automatic. I absolutely love this car but if I had a chance to do it over I'd get the manual and the carbon buckets

This is the spec I was thinking of ordering. Manual, buckets and carbon roof.

Why do you regret the auto?

Daily or fun car? Mine is a fun car, manual + buckets. It is such an experience to drive, 0 regrets.

Less than 1% of cars on the road are manual. If I have a chance to get a manual sports car, it’s a no brainer.. do it.

I've been driving manuals for 50-years, and I must say that my M2 is one nice rower.

I plan to continue driving manuals until there's no other option.

Manual before they’re gone. It’s more engaging and more fun because there’s an extra pedal and you actually have to select gears yourself with a cool ass hand shifter! I’m a manual fanboy though and have 2 other late model manual vehicles. If I was going to get an auto, it would probably be a GTR or G80 Xdrive but then I think at that point you might as well go full EV and get a Plaid or something. Cars have become less fun even if they’re faster so I tend to want to have manual
cars to keep driving interesting

Drive both and decide. NO one here is you, and feels what you do when you drive YOUR car. Its that simple. Its your money to spend not ours lol.

I owned a 2022 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 with a auto.
I now drive the 2025 M2 TP with the 6 speed. If you want to have symbiotic relationship with your G87 get the manual. Driving the Supra was fun, but I prefer the added engagement rowing through the gears! No regrets!
