The biggest difference between old school autos and this one is you can hold a gear and it has auto-reving down shifts. All of my previous Z's have been manual. The the 350z auto was not even close to this Sequenical 7 Speed Auto with auto-reving down shifts, 370Z's S7 is really inovative and a blast to drive once you learn how it works and when to pull a lever or flap a paddle.

I would never had believed it either until I drove a S7 370Z.
My friends are amazed at the responses the 7a gives when changing gears. Nissan built something special with the 7a. I think they are the first to really give the best of both worlds without going dct.
