I used to have a V6 2003 Nissan Altima SE and that is the only Nissan/Infiniti car I've driven that I didn't care for the gearing (they were still using 4 speeds in the automatics back then).

Man 4 speed's really suck I know from experience

I've got the 6MT and it seems like one too many gears. What do you do with the seventh?

It is different ratio's on the 7AT, and the 7th is basically also an overdrive in my opinion and experience

I meant I have one too many gears with six. I am thinking you have two too many with seven.

The ratio's in the AT is of such a nature that the sixth gear is still a very usable gear which you can compare to the fifth in the MT.
