I previously had a Silvia S15 with a manual 6 peed. However, one of the conditions from my wife when getting the 370z was that it had to be an auto. This concerned me a little cause I loved my 6 speed and using the engine to slow the car down coming into corners etc. However, after getting used to the auto and using the paddles in manual mode, I find it just as much fun seem to able to do all the things I did with my manual. So now I have the best of both worlds.

When used in manual, there is a slight delay when changing which takes a little getting use to, but it's no longer than it would take to press the clutch and select a gear in a manual. All in all I am happy with it.
