i came from one of the best shifting manuals in the world. the s2000. when i first was going to look at a local 370z for the first time i knew it was an auto, and was thinking to my self that there is no way im going to get the auto. that is until i test drove it.
this is no ordinary auto. the best thing you can do is go for a test drive on some curvy roads and then decide. btw i bought that auto 370z the next morning

one last thing.... MAGNESIUM PADDLE SHIFTERS...=YUMMY

that's what defines a real car,
ability to put a smile on your face even when you're not driving it

I like the versatility of the auto. When I feel like having some fun I drive it in manual. Driven manuals all my life, last car being a Silvia S15 with a 6 speed manual. I find the 7AT just as much fun to drive if not more.

To the OP, if you have have to think about it, you might as well get the auto and (sry to offend anyone) be like the rest of the poser sports car owners. Its a sports car, man up, buy it with the 6-speed manual + sports pkg and drive it how its ment to be driven.

Manly men wildly pumping their left foot whilst the right hand flays wildly about, forming manly H's, and declaring to all, behold, I have manned up, for I, a man of sports, am the standard for manly men!

What are you, 3? If you think a manual in a sports car has anything to do with manhood, you are the one that needs to grow up. (Not sorry to offend anyone.)
