The community here seems to care a lot less about auto or manual. It seems like a lot of people have an obvious preference, but aren't up to force it on others, which is cool.

6 spd

At least now the SRM totals are on the correct side of the MT totals.

DJ_TJ · 02-02-2010, 05:46 AM

my sports cars are manual and my grocery getter is automatic.

This will seem odd, but I actually prefer driving with the SRM turned off so far. Picked up the car only 3 weeks ago and have put very few miles on it, maybe my preference will change with time.

Automatic. I also have a color tv and I use a microwave. My grill uses propane instead of charcoal too.

You've lost all credibility with that statement, poser.

One of the reasons I have a manual (besides the purity of the drive) was that my wife can't drive it.

(sorry honey)

I have driven manuals all my life, this is my first semi-automatic sports car but it gives me the best of both words. No constant shifting when in traffic or the city and "shifting" fun when I want to cut lose on a curvy road or track. I love it. I guess that's why Nissan makes it with the two options, other sports cars don't.

i am so glad nissan did not make one type of transmission for the 370z like they did for the GT-R. if they did, i would have to buy another car.

If the 370 had a transmission like the GT-R, there would be no question the auto would be the way to go if you could afford the extra cost which would not be cheap.

i would still prefer the traditional manual transmission over the GT-R transmission. I know it is much faster but it is not as fun to drive, to me at least.
