What's wrong with the 6MT?

Agreed. Honda makes incredibly smooth shifting gear box. one of the reasons why i got my TSX. But the clutch is really light. Not my preference, but does have its advantage for everyday commuting in heavy stop and go traffic.

The 350Z/370Z clutch pedal has a "heavier" feel than most. This was a complaint on the 350Z (check the forums you'll find many threads a and a few how-to's to adjust). And could be deterrent to someone who would prefer to have a manual shift for a daily commuter.

One thing i don't like about the 350/370 Z is the feel of the accelerator pedal. I think its too light. Makes for a mismatched feel between the mechanical resistance of the clutch and accelerator pedal. I think this is why some people have a hard time adjusting to the driving style of the Z and/or feeling comfortable with it at first drive.

I test drove an '09 cayman. The mechanical resistance/feel of the Cayman clutch and accelerator are very comparable and give a balanced feel.

Personally, i liked the feel of the 350 Z clutch. And when i test drove a 370Z was surprised that Nissan retained the heavier clutch considering the complaints.

The 370Z gear box is much improved over the 350Z, has a more exact feel. Not as good as a cayman, but definitely in the ballpark.
