I was just going to say that :icon18:

For like the 500millionth time I have an AT just because my 350z was a MT and wanted a change. Personal change.

Went with an AT for a couple of reasons:

1. Have 5 year old who sits in the front seat...don't want both hands occupied all the time.

2. It's faster :)

I couldn't do without #1. I appreciated #2. I'd prefer a manual for the connection you get with the car, but the connection I have with my son is better than any connection I can have with a car. :hello:

**edit**
OP, what did you end up getting?

Shado is absolutely correct that the ability to drive a manual can be a huge advantage in an emergency. Imo the understanding and focus required to properly drive a manual would be very good for these people who drive around putting on make-up, reading, texting, and adjusting the radio all at the same time in traffic no less. Different perspective.

I am guessing you are REALLY young and this is either your first or second car. I hope you appreciate your parents a lot because some of us had to buy our own cars. Mine was a piece of crap 1971 Dodge Cornet that cost me $250. I am now 39 and this is by far the nicest car I have ever owned! Anyways, auto or stick you have a Z and are a very lucky person.

I got my car brand new for a really good price ( almost 10k off of sticker -brandy new) and it has the AT At first I drove it in A mostly all the time. Since I learned the car I now drive it 95% M mode and I find it awesome. I don't feel shorted 'bout not having a manual tranny. I do believe that this trans is the best of both worlds.In 38 years of driving never saw an at that behaves like this one-enjoy!

uhh...I'm not that young, and I said I know how to drive manual. I only pay partial amount for my Z and my parents are helping me pay the most so that's why I had to obey them. you guys are just bashing me for drive auto and think I'm stupid. I don't think so. I was going to buy really old car with manual trans because then I can pay it. But I wanted to get Z so bad that I just got it as an auto since my parents said they gonna help me pay for me. I hope you guys understand my situation and don't curse at me. TMy point was that I want people to love automatic as much as manual. Thanks guys

chuckd05 06-25-2011 03:31 PM

We all curse at you ! Also we will throw rocks at you if we see you. Lol. Enjoy the Zs auto or manual, they're all the same car at the end of the day.

UNKNOWN_370 06-25-2011 06:11 PM

AT drivers are losers. Manual drivers have small penises. DCT drivers rule. Hahahahaha.

I thought i'd break the monotony. :happydance:
