In other trims, Nissan offers Magma Red, which I kind of think would have been a more appropriate color to offer for Nismo if the bodykit is going to employ red so heavily. Maybe Nissan was trying to offer one particular color combination where the flashy Nismo stuff doesn't make the car stick out?

Congratulations on finding a 6MT Tech. That is crazy hard to do; I held out on purchasing my 7AT Tech until the dealer had a (less equipped) 6MT Nismo on the lot that I could compare it to. I thought I was going to hate the paddles over a proper manual gear box, but I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know if Nissan simply produced fewer 6MT Nismos this year since they introduced the 7AT or if the demand for the 6MT is so high that the only thing available is 7AT?

There are four to five 6 speeds here that I've seen. Only 2 autos.

Nismos? Most dealers don't have more than 2 or 3 Nismos if any. And I'm limiting the discussion to 2015 models. Of course any residual 2014 is going to be 6MT.

There's only a few dealers here who even have 6MT in this colorway.. I'm sure as time goes by it'll become more common!

Lol. Hopefully they didn't say anything bad.

Love the car, taking it everywhere I go. Already have about 1200 miles on it in 1 month. Just loving them Ricaro seat. Just think the nismo exhaust note is kind of mild.

Yup, I was surprised as well. Lots of 6 speeds. I'm thinking of trading in my my 08 Nismo for it. How are you liking it so far?

I absolutely love it bro. Attention to detail on paint though.. Be sore to examine the paint very closely. I found a defect on the door. There's like a black circle underneath the paint. I just noticed a nick on the hood and a chip on the bumper too. Most likely from transport, but i'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow to get it sorted out.

Ah. Shouldn't be a problem. I only had a short drive so I'm not sure what to expect long term. The seats were dope and so was the navi. I usually stick a Magellan in my 08 cubby. It always falls out during acceleration. Lol keep me up to date. Congrats, hoping to upgrade.
