Manual vs automatic

wanta370 · 08-18-2009, 07:14 PM

I have had manual cars before. My normal commute is not a stop and go. Will I be disappointed with an automatic? When I got stuck in traffic in my bmw and mini, I didn't like it at all because the clutch is so stiff. How is nissan clutch compared to bmw cars?

the stock pressure plate is light, idk about the jwt pressure plate. but i'd still pick manual over auto. i drove the auto 370z and it just felt weird cuz you dont have as much control of it's power and what gear it's in as you do if you drove manual. my right left was kinda sore after driving the auto, but felt fine when i drove the manual.

all depends on what the cars purpose is, and how old you are. I'm mid 40's my manual days are far behind me. i want to get in relax and enjoy. But the z takes you a step furhter with the sport shifting you can have a little fun also.
