I think it's one of those 'want what you don't have' kind of things.

All that said, I can't imagine driving the Z with anything other than the manual. After almost 9k miles I'm completely familiar with it and don't have to think about it at all. The clutch isn't too stiff and even in traffic I don't get worn out.

I didn't keep the Maxima or Titan very long and I'm paying for it. If you really wanted a new car altogether the financial impact may be worth it but to swap for the same car just with a different transmission - I would only do that if I really hated the MT.

Edit: One more thought - if no one else in the family drives stick, look at that as a good thing. The Z is all yours.
