It's stupid how good it is... My ISF's is garbage compared to the 370's

Besides getting called out for not "having a driver's car", and the 50-100lb increase...

It's awesome!!! If you heavily track you MAY need a trans cooler, MAY, I REALLY don't want to turn you off from it because it kicks so much àss

This may help a bit...

I just bought my Touring (Non-Sport Pkg) 7AT on Saturday. I had, over the past few months driven a few 370s in 6mt. The 6mt made me despise synchro-rev match. That in turn made me despise the 6mt on the 370. I turned my back several times and never once considered an auto because I, too, thought it HAD to be a manual.

Then, last Saturday, I pulled into the Nissan dealership while I was shopping against the 1 and 3 series BMWs. Gave the 7AT a shot, loved it, negotiated, signed the papers and walked out a happy man. But also understand this was all in part due to where I live and feathering a clutch for 35 minutes a day while waiting to get through a gate is annoying as all hell. Anywho...

Here is why I didn't want the sports package. #1... HATE the wheels. They remind me of Pontiac wheels back in the 90s. #2... I wanted to install a Quaife LSD. Sports package has one and swapping requires additional parts. #3... Brake package can easily be added and I'd like more options than the Nissan installed parts. For example, Willwood.

The base gave me a clean slate to work from and no additional options to pay extra for that I would likely rip off anyway. And the Bose? It stays. I don't like Bose but I don't really mind the sound. But the seats!! Wow. I love the sueded door panels and seat inserts with the leather trim. And while it adds some weight, I like my heated seats too. Glad I got to keep them!

For the record, I came from a 2010 Acura TSX 2.4L. It was modded. But only netted one ounce of fun when I hit the corners at 5-7k rpm. The 370 gives me like, 900 cajillion metric tons of fun even when cruising at the speed limit. I don't even need to drive fast anymore. I also expected a very stiff ride but it is surprisingly comfortable for road trips. Will be taking it to northeast ohio from Virginia Beach in a week. So excited! Can't wait to get over 1000miles so I can open her up a bit.

Good luck with your choice!!! I'm sure you'll be happy once you sign your wallet away and get in and just blast off.

Uhhh couldn't you have just turned off rev match if you "despised" it?
