No, that is not true. You can get a manual in all variants of the 370z.



The Z is not bad in snow. It's a RWD car, and requires a bit of extra care, but it is definitely driveable. You will probably need sandbags in the back on the more slippery days, and you will definitely need to be running quality snow tires, and your ground clearance will be limited, but there is no reason you can't.


On the other hand, if you have never driven a RWD car in snow before, you may not want to learn on the Z.
