It's safer, it keeps both hands on the wheel.

It's usually the people who drive shitty riced out Civics bragging about how powerful their VTEC is.

Yea I agree what's the problem with an auto there's really no difference from what I see just that manual you shift your self and auto it does everything for you. Same here I am waiting 6 months then ordering one cause either that I order one from my city dealer of go all the way to Everett to get one.

That's what your supposed to do. Go get a price quote from one dealership and then head over to the next dealership and pit them against each other in a price war haha.

Not that I mean any offense to some of you, but why do some of you care what transmission other people get?

But it isn't your car, so why bother caring? I'm glad they give us more options, and all these negative comments about an AT sports car are narrow-minded. I myself plan on testing both transmissions out, because bumper-to-bumper traffic in my 6MT isn't fun. I never considered the 350Z's 5AT, but the 370Z's 7AT looks pretty sweet.

But back on track, if you do not enjoy a 7AT, it's as simple as not getting one and not questioning other peoples' transmission choices. Everyone has their own preference, and there's nothing wrong with it as long is it isn't harming someone

Since the numbers are so varied from review to review, I'll still waiting for someone to do a review with both transmissions side by side. Probably won't get one.

shumby · 01-20-2009, 03:39 PM

RCZ did one.

I'm talking about timed runs, etc. I want to know where the sacrifices are between the two. i.e 0-60 numbers, 0-100 numbers, 1/4 mile numbers, etc in the same environment with same driver. If they are very close, I'd be inclined to go with the AT so the wife can drive it.
