THANK YOU so would you recommend it as a first stick shift car?

lemon-fresh

no, it's one of the more difficult manuals to drive but with practice anything is possible.

Jordo!

On that note, the 7AT is VERY good; shifts are fast, comparable to a dual clutch (and can be made even faster with tuning), and downshifts are revmatched.

Search on here -- reviews on the auto from drivers and reviewers are very positive.

Also, no difference in drivetrain loss between AT and MT, verified on numerous dynos, and in 0-60 and 1/4 mile tests, the auto is actually a bit quicker (by about .1 sec).

Test drive both and see which one you like best.

All sticks are a challenge as a first car. My first was a column shift 3 speed (okay, this is showing my age) Chevy as it was my Dad's station wagon. No torque/power, weird clutch, long throws......huge heavy car.

Was a b**** from a stop trying to get it to go up a hill. The Z in comparison is so much easier.

Will you be smooth from the start? No

Will you kill the car? Yes

Will you learn? Yes

Will you get proficient at it? Yes

I say, Just Do It (wish I knew how to draw the Nike Swoosh)!

And if you want to make it easier, use search function & check for clutch spring helper or you can buy that RJM clutch pedal (please correct me if I'm wrong on the name of the pedal).
