'15 Base 7AT = No Paddle Shifters???

IAmTheStig · 09-29-2014, 11:35 AM

Standing around at the dealership while my Z is being fixed and noticed that a new 2015 Base Z with 7AT has no paddle shifters. Has this always been this way or is this new for 2015? Seems like an expensive option to not have paddles...

I just checked the website..you are right

not sure if it's always been like that

my base 2011 7at has paddle shifters.

IAmTheStig · 09-29-2014, 11:42 AM

Seems like weak sauce to me...

Wow that's hard to believe. Not saying you're lying. Just can't believe nissan would do that.

Whoa what??? My 2011 Base 7AT has them..... WTF? NISSAN...ugh

And I can see Nissan doing that. It's a mix of 2 things:
Nissan is cheap as a motherfucker
And they want to differentiate base models and higher models

Well, guess if you are in the market for a Base Z, and want a more "sporty" feel then you'll have to go with the 6mt

Looks like the nismo also doesnt have paddle shifters? I thought they did.

Config page looks to confirm the base model 7AT has lost the paddle shifters.
Sport models have it and says optional for Nismos (I assume this is because the transmission is optional).

That is a base+sport model, OP is revering to just a base model with 7AT (no sport).
