My old man had an '08 G37 with that trashy 5-speed automatic gear box...that was such a terrible car! It felt so much bigger than my Z, and while the exhaust note was nice, nothing an aftermarket exhaust can't fix. I guess maybe the 7-speed will be better, plus it is a car that is 5 years newer than what I had driven.
Back seats were unusable for any normal person sitting up front, I don't think your 12-year old will be that comfortable...not for long anyways. I don't think I would go back to automatic if given a choice but if it is necessary, than I would.
