I've owned 2 370z's so far. The first being the base model 6 speed, and I currently have a 16' Sport 6 speed with Rev match.
Both cars have these issues:
-Loud throwout bearing when sitting in neutral (Nothing to worry about, totally normal for these cars)
-Second gear is notchy, and higher RPM shifts from first to second will sometimes grind even when the clutch is pressed in fully. (Could be me, but I've never had this issue in other sports cars I've owned)

Even with that, TOTALLY WORTH IT! The rev match is amazing and it will make you smile every time you get in the car. I live in Cincinnati and the traffic here can suck pretty hard sometimes, heavy traffic and the manual trans is still pretty tolerable.
There's nothing better than hilly curvy roads with the manual trans and rev match, you'll feel like a race car driver and it sounds awesome too! LOL.
