I bought a 7AT for the same reasons your thinking about buying one and I love the car. I don't regret buying the auto at all. It's now a track car for the most part and I still love the 7AT. I bought a Audi TT as a DD and I miss driving the Z every time I'm in it.

From your post it seems obvious to go 7at. You still get paddle shifters and manual mode if you want to play around with it. In the end, no one but yourself will care wether the car is manual or automatic.

7AT is just the better choice all around.

Here we go Wheeeeeeee!
And for the interesting diversion .... Why can't they just put a nice dual clutch tranny in it eh? Would that be so hard?

i mean you could say they dont want to pull GT-R customers to the Z if they offered a DCT but i dont think that would be true since if you're able to have a GT-R i highly doubt a Z is a comparable choice based on it having a DCT as well lol now the eau rouge not having a DCT is done to not drawn GT-R customers based on having the same engine lol

driving a 6MT in NYC traffic is terrible. Ask me how I know? (see location) And where in LI is there traffic? Maybe for a little while right when you're near the Queens border, but generally out there, traffic out there isn't even that bad whenever I go out there.

Good choice, however, since this is your only car, be sure. I love my 6MT, but I also don't drive it daily. Chicago traffic is pretty bad, which is why my DD is an auto....

I went MT, but note that the clutch only has a 12k mi warranty on it per my dealership.
A few months ago I was in SF in a rental MT PT cruiser. Got to know the smell of that clutch well.
