I was your age when I got my Z. I got in for my HS grad present. I have the 7spd. The main reason I got it was because I come from a SMALL town and I was afraid that getting a manual in the "horrendous" atlanta traffic would be a bad idea. Turns out traffic isn't that bad, and now I wish I would have gotten the manual. However, I still the auto. It is amazing and super quick.

P.S. Please don't act like a retard and give us(those who got the Z as a teen and act responsibly) a bad name

If you say it is "smooth" and "easy" after driving it, I will shake your hand and admit my complete ignorance of driving.

I don't know if there is a massive variance in Nissan manual transmissions in terms of quality, or people haven't driven a smoother stick before. I assure you, anyone with any experience who drive my car will not use the word "smooth" or "easy" to describe it.

The only positive thing I can say about it is that it works. If you start to critique it at all you really won't have many positive things to say about it. I don't know, maybe I'm spoiled.
Thank you!
