I feel u on the commuting part. Mine is about 25 miles. In the morning drive when I'm barely awake it's def nice to have the option of just putting it in drive and go lol

I love the 7AT. I have based my life on getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night and when I'm driving early in the morning I have no patience for anything. Plus I can barely keep my eyes open in the morning cause I'm so tired so if I had the 6MT I would probably putting in the wrong gears lol. I do a good 40-50 miles a day.

Wish they made a 7MT NISMO!

Seriously, I test drove a 7AT and the Nismo.... The automatic has some true advantages for a DD and as mentioned kicks butt in the low end, even grabs rubber on the 1-2 shift. But I knew I was only going to driving my Z on the weekends..... and the Nismo is just Hot... and the 6MT just makes if fun to drive.... but if they made a NISMO with an auto tranny I would definitely consider it if I ever decided to trade mine in.

+1

. I believe they make the 7AT in Japan only with the Touring plus Nav packages. I love the Nismo but interior and 6MT wasn't doing it for me. I believe if the offered the touring/Nav and/or the 7AT the Nismo would even be a better seller in the states IMO.
