370Z 7AT vs DCT / DSG Auto?

SunnyDays · 02-21-2018, 02:56 PM

Hey all,

I will soon be in the market for a 370Z and am undecided on manual or automatic.

I have driven DCT / DSG automatic based cars and am curious how the 7AT compares?
For reference I was not that keen on the DCT / DSG boxes as they often at times felt a unpredictable in terms of up-shifts and down-shifts but also could feel laggy in manual mode. Additionally I felt at times that the car was abit boring to drive despite the performance. Do you think I will get on in with the 7AT in the 370Z or should I skip it and go for the manual?

I am tempted by the 370Z manual syncro rev match but am concerned about the weight of the clutch being very heavy and also the performance of the automatic seems considerably better? Additionally it seems like the manual gear boxes have issues such as the CSC?

All advice appreciated

Thanks
