I personally don't think anyone's opinion should factor what car you get, but do take their opinion into consideration. You'll get a lot of people bashing you for driving an automatic sports car though.

I've had an 08 350z 5AT and loved that thing. It was so easy to drive and that was part of the problem. It was definitely fun, but it just didn't feel right.

I now have a 12 370z Nismo 6MT and it makes up for the 4 years of driving an automatic. Manual in my opinion is so much better and makes the sports car that much more fun to drive.

You should also consider your area. Part of the reason I got an automatic was because of family reasons, and the second (and most common excuse) is traffic. Northern Virginia traffic is only getting worse but honestly, 2 hours of traffic isn't a sufficient enough reason to not enjoy endless hours of fun on backroads and an open highway!

^^ Traffic is a really poor excuse not to drive MT, if ond feels lazy and wants to lay back in comfort while driving....go drive a 4 door auto like 99% of the populace these days. Sports cars should be fun and made for driving, not lounging in comfort in an A to B people mover.

And I say that being stuck in VA/MD traffic on i495 daily with 6MT.

I leave my car running everywhere I go too, knowing nobody will take it since like 2 people still know how to drive standard.

Driving a stick isn't hard its just slower. I don't think I know anyone that can't drive one.

My 7AT just came back built to take 1000whp and shift even faster.
