370z hard to drive?

I've never had trouble driving this car, and I've driven manuals for 15 years now. I've driven sports cars for most of that time, plus one small SUV and one

I've never had trouble driving this car, and I've driven manuals for 15 years now. I've driven sports cars for most of that time, plus one small SUV and one sedan (these are just the manuals, I've driven plenty of autos as well). It's not "hot knife through butter" like a Mazda short shifter, but it's not Mt Everest either.

Been driving manual Hondas for the last four years and never stalled the Z once. I agree it took me a couple hours of driving to be smooth if a passenger is in the car.

I really think launching a four wheel drive manual is MUCH harder than the Z. My friend has had his Subaru for two years and still struggles to get good starts off the line.

I think this is a great way to explain it. I feel the clutch is somewhat "snappy" as well. Specifically when changing from 1st to 2nd. It's not hard to drive though. Just takes a bit of getting used to it.
