This MT isn't very good IMO. It's not "bad", but I wouldn't say it's good either. The AT is way, WAY, better for street driving.
Having driven a few MT Nissan's from many different years, and plenty of other MT from other car companies, I think Nissan just sucks at making MT's. Especially second gear... every single MT Nissan I've ever driven has an issue with second. I don't see this in other cars.
Like I said, it's not bad, and once you get used to it, you won't even notice the flaws. But honestly, unless you plan to track it, I would get the AT. Having said that, if I did it all over again, I will still get the Nimso edition and get the MT. So... I don't know what that means :/ guess it makes me a hypocrite.

have you tried driving the 2006-2008 Honda Civic SI? 2nd gear on that sucks worse! Honda even had to do a recall after all these people kept complaining that 1st-2nd gear and 2nd - 3rd would grind almost all the time, even when the clutch was pushed all the way down.
