More thoughts on the 7AT from a future buyer...

AndreDekolta · 12-21-2011, 11:28 AM

I recently test drove two MT's, one a NISMO, and the other was a Touring w/Sport. Both were awesome. I had absolutely no intention of buying an AT. HOWEVER, about three weeks ago test drove an AT black Touring /w Sport. I was soo impressed with responsiveness that it shook my whole process. Thought and battled over it until last Friday. Went back into the dealer and drove away with the AT.

I think it really depends on what you want to do with the car. I want to drive and enjoy it (and the power). The animal in me wants to shift. The lazy "driver" wants to just stomp on the gas and HOLD ON!

Driving on windy roads with the paddies is a freakin' blast. So it's almost like I have the best of both worlds...sort of.

I don't regret my choice at all. Also have pretty severe arthritus in my knees. That was also always on my mind when making my final choice.

No regrets and loving it!
