Any regrets on choice of transmission

b1adesofcha0s

Just throwing in my experience here, maybe there are others here like me. I have the 7AT and have never driven a manual. I never had any real opportunity to learn how to drive manual. No one I have known has had a manual that they would be willing to teach me to drive in. When it came to buying my Z (my first sports car) I didn't want to buy a $30k sports car that I couldn't drive. I could have risked buying the 6MT for the fun factor, but that would also mean risking me ruining the clutch. That is something I can't really afford right now. This is why I went for the 7AT. I have driven automatics all my life and this one is so much better than the others. I have fun with my paddle shifters and that is good enough for me. I don't regret my decision at all. For all you guys with the 6MT I wish I could see things from your side.

Thanks! I get people telling me all the time that I should've gotten in manual. Some people actually go as far as making fun of me for getting an auto. It's always someone with a crappy car so my response is "My auto with the paddle shifters can shift faster than you bro, get back to me when you get a real performance car."

Those are very valid reasons to go with the automatic! Nissan builds excellent quality automatic trannies!
