I've owned the 7AT and loved the auto but also missed driving manual so my replacement 370Z is a manual.
Let me ask you...
- Do you regularly travel in start/stop traffic in a manual and hate it everytime you do so? Then get the auto as you have the best of both worlds.

- Are you put off manual only cause of it's inability to take off smoothly but still love the control of having a manual? Then get the MT6 as the syncro-rev makes it an entirely different manual car to drive.

Sounds like a driver issue.

Ride around in my GF's automatic with her behind the wheel, you'd wish you were with me in my 6MT after all the jerkiness and senseless braking/accelerating! Hahaha!

I drove manual for years and after driving the auto 370z I gotta admit, I seriously can care less for the shifting. I can already shift with those paddle shifters and besides...The new GTR doesn't even come in manual and is push button start like the 370z + paddle shifting galore on both vehicles. Im glad they came out with the auto and definitely getting one as early as...this afternoon!:happydance:

Anyone put there with an automatic? I've been reading various reviews on the automatic and a few were really bad! A few however were not...

So i would like to hear what do you think? Should I go for auto or stick to manual?

Thanks

No street driven sport car should ever be produced with an AT.

Speak for yourself. Let people get what they want. :)

Performance and comfort wise the AT can't be beat. I will admit that a manual can be more thrilling...when you have an open road and no traffic. If you like manual, get one. If you think it's no big deal to you, go with the AT.

While I am still 95% getting the 7AT, if my wife does not mind me getting the MT, I would definately pick that up. That is primarily due to the fact that I plan to work from the home office more this year, or will be traveling. Thus, a 'daily driver' will not really be needed.

Again, either way, you can't go wrong. You are still in a Z!!!

Get her an a/t accord, teach her how to drive a manual like I did to my wife. Then you are all set to get the 6MT. One thing I worries all the time is that my wife shouldn't be driving my Z at all. :D

370z manual or auto?

7AT is quicker by a small margin.

i have the manual, and i kinda prefer i got a auto.
the gearbox is not my cup of tea. i used to have an s2000, so im really used to a short shifter with a small knob. the stock 370 just doesnt give the fun feeling when i shift :(

red6spd 10-25-2010 10:24 AM

Thats not really a decision anyone else but yourself can make. I got a stick because I feel its more fun, and I have more control over the car.

LuckyJinx 10-25-2010 01:31 PM

Manual, more fun.

I want a Z 10-25-2010 01:34 PM

Auto - you have the option to shift if you want and you will be happier in traffic jams

tjlazer 10-25-2010 01:57 PM

Synchro Rev Match!

mick 10-25-2010 02:48 PM

since you are undecided, go for the auto.

because you have to put more effort into driving a manual transmission car, it should be something that you know you want to get :)
