I AGREE on the 1st Gear Ratio
I have been driving manual transmissions most of my life. I recently purchased a new 2010 370Z with manual transmission. All the gear ratios are good, except the low first gear. The first gear ratio was MUCH better in my older 1986 300Z manual transmission than the ratio in the new 370Z. ALL said I still enjoy the manual transmission.

Don't be discouraged if you have never driven stick. When I bought my RSX-S I had them drive it back to my house. I spent the whole night stalling up and down my driveway. A friend took me the next day and we drove in a parking lot. He just said put it at 1k rpm and let the clutch out as slow as possible. Simple as that. Then I learned rev matching by myself etc.
