Isn't the manual the base? ;)

more of :stirthepot:

$499.99/hr. Deal of the century. Some ask far more for the service.

Well I'll be damned... the OP is right...

That's what I get for being a smart *** and not actually checking...

My apology for doubting.

wait is that a 15 model or all non-sport auto's?

From the 2015 370Z press kit ...

"Paddle shifters are standard on Touring, Sport and Sport Tech grades." Everything but the base.

Makes me happy I got my 09 with 7AT and paddles....I feel bad for the new guy who isn't knowing and gets on this site and finds out after he/she bought a '15 model base 7AT that the paddles were optional....I mean is that something the sale guys are going to use to upsell or...?

What's weird is that it lists paddle shifters with the 7AT as a whole transmission package -- I don't see a listing for a 7AT without them :confused:

Is the 7AT option cheaper on the base than on the base+sport? Seems to me like it should be if this is the case.

I love my paddles. Great feature.

Mine was a $1300 option... This from Nissan web site for a Base 7AT:

2013 Transmission: 7-Speed Automatic $1,300
Includes paddle shifters and Downshift Rev Matching. Transmission specifications - Speeds: 7. Type: Automatic w/OD.

2015 Transmission: 7-Speed Automatic $1,300
Transmission specifications - Speeds: 7. Type: Automatic w/OD.

No mention of paddles... Cheap bastards!!!

I didn't use the paddles that much when I had my Z, so they are not that big of a deal to me. But it seems odd that Nissan would drop them. The differentiate-from-more-expensive-models theory proposed above is the only thing the makes any sense to me ... but it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Typical Nissan. They load up early model years but in the later model years they cheap out on features. The base model 97-98 240sx didn't even have a remote trunk release

lol way to make people spend more money.

surprised it still has power windows too

My 13 Z is a base with the paddles. I use them at the drag strip mostly and occasionally on the street to let the other car know I am ready to accelerate. I will leave it at that.
15 with no paddles? Odd. I bet you still get that crappy radio that is shared with all other nissan base models.

Funny you mention the crappy radio, actually the base 7AT I saw without the paddles had a new base stereo head unit with standard Bluetooth and extra phone buttons on the steering wheel. You can see that clearly in the picture above this post. Apparently Bluetooth > Paddle Shifters...
