Haven't Bought it yet still deciding, Im not sure if I want a Red one because I got no garage or shade for it to park in, that and well I rather have silver or white. I live in a pretty congested traffic area. when I test drove them I purposely did it on rush hour too to see the effects and well yeah...I love manual, but maybe I need to just get an Auto! it help me with my knee problem nee ways. Darn I can't decide, if I just want to buy that Red one now or wait...sigh!

I WANT YOU TO BUY THE MANUAL ! LOL

One of the great things about SRM is that it takes some of the work out of shifting... I'd say get the auto if this were a dual-clutch auto like on porsche/audi/etc, but this auto is not nearly as efficient... buy the manual, get the clutch cable, have fun !

Maybe I should go try the one they got that is the same config but manual, thing is it's yellow. As rare as that thing is and stuff I don't think I can do yellow it's just too bright hahaha.....argh... now Manual or Auto, Which Color...I really just want a nice Z I'll always be happy with, btw this is my first Nissan!

no shortage of opinions on colors around here, check around... my preferences were silver, white, blue, black, and everything else

Learning to heel toe lately (no SRM) and a successful execution is pure bliss. Not saying the SRM is not helpful but DIY sure is rewarding. To each his own. If you NEED the sport get it, but I plan to replace everything it includes so I didn't go with it.
