Auto 370Z...Is it Good?

cave vulture · 07-19-2009, 12:15 AM

When I was looking at possible sports cars to purchase, I used the following criteria..... If an automatic was available, I would get it. If the car was not offered with AT, I would be fine with a MT. The Viper, Honda S2000, and Lotus Exige were the MT candidates. The Corvette, BMW Z4, and The 370Z were the AT cars I looked at. The way I narrowed down the choices was.... Viper (too impractical) .... Honda ( only coupe had removable hardtop and no soft top)...Lotus (no dealer within a reasonable distance)...Corvette (too common)....BMW ( not enough bang for the buck) .... 370Z ( best fit my requirements, which was a sports car coupe).

Just because someone doesn't drive a 6MT, he/she is not an enthusiast??? What kind of response is this?

The 7 speed automatic with rev matching downshifts and 6 speed gearbox with SRM - are both very fun to drive. There's no right or wrong decision. People simply buy the transmission they are comfortable with. It's all about enjoying driving your car. I have locked every 6MT vs Auto threads. Please keep it civil or this will get locked as well.
