A nissan dealer told me this isn't opinion but fact! I quote "The 7AT 370z is .10 seconds faster than a manual 370z" I don't know how much truth there is to the .10 seconds part but I do know a 7At is indeed faster than a manual, but not by much.

Hi 370Z owners, my name is Jarrod and I am a 25 year old Web Developer from Dallas(Richardson), Texas. After months of going back and forth on my vehicle decision, I am planning on picking up a 2013 370Z tomorrow in McKinney. I was able to test drive both an AT and MT and enjoyed both.

Here are my issues:
1. I live in Dallas (Richardson) and spend almost all of my time on 75, George Bush or 35. All equally crappy roads with heavy traffic in my opinion.

2. I have not driven a MT since '03 in my '02 Mustang GT. Not sure if the clutch is way different or if I totally suck at shifting all over again, but I had a hard time getting it right the past two Z's I have test drove.

3. I was heart set on a MT until I got in the AT today and had a blast using the sport shifter (if that is what it is called :/).

I had an Acura RSX ages ago and was 'reminded' on a constant basis how stupid my decision was to purchase an AT.

So basically I am curious what the general opinion was of the AT from the 370Z community. I know that this is generally a person to person opinion, but I can tell you my experience with RSX and GTI people (which I had a bit ago) love giving you crap for an AT.

--- Sorry if there is a thread on this. I tried doing some searches but my brain is a little fried right now. Wouldn't be rushing this if I wasn't headed to the dealership in the morning. Thank you for all your help.
I have a 2011 7AT and I love it. I used to have a 335i and the manual tranny in that bad boy was smooth as butter. I test drove a couple of 6MT Z's and found the shifting a bit difficult, more like a Porsche... You really can't go wrong with the Auto, it is very quick off the line and you get the best of both worlds with the paddles/tiptronic shifter. I live in the Seattle and spent over 35 hours last week stuck in traffic. I know that I made the right decision!
