Guys i really need help.. i really dont know which to choose... for A car like this.. i think manual really suits this and auto does not.. but i dont know jack about manual.. but i really dont know is there a BIG difference in Manual and Auto G? Like i heard about mods on auto isnt as good .I would really need some help on this guys.. so please tell me your up most opinion where i should head towards.. thx guys.. for ALL auto and manual people please help me

 

I made 2 mistakes with this car that I regret,
1. not getting nav.
2. not getting a 6mt.

Get the 6MT, i dont think you will regret it.

 

was my first manual and i dont regret it at all.

 

only mistake I did was not get the Navi.

But I got auto and im glad. I started driving to work in morning traffic, and im glad I got auto because im half asleep most of the time and its so much easier to drive lol

 

go with the 6mt you can learn stick on another car.

 

go with manual... this car is meant to be driven in stick.

and get navi.. i didn't get it and i regret it.

 

Just my opinion, so I appoligize in advance to anyone driving 5AT this may offend, but I can't understand how anyone with 2 good legs would even consider driving an automatic G after driving the 6MT

 

6mt = Fun

 

well said...only 2 mistakes made by me too...i wish i woulda gotten a stick...i woulda had brembos too lol...o well...get a stick...

 

i have stick and nav. i definetly made the right choice

 

im happy with auto with manual mode =)

 

I ordered the 6MT coupe with nav and every goodies except for rear active steer (which I believe will hamper the spirited driving I intend to do).

I drove both, and believe me, the car is an awesome stick. Even if your stuck in traffic. You will regret getting an auto, at least the majority of people do.

Do yourself a favor and do it right the first time, get a 6MT Coupe.

 

I drove both and the stick is way better if you really like to drive. Auto only if you are stuck in bumper to bumper all the way to work - otherwise 6speed all the way-

 

Sometimes I wish I got the manual, but only a couple of times. Drive em both. The manual on the automatic will let you redline. I know some cars shift at certain rpm anywase, but not the G. I love it. Would a Stick be better. Maybe, maybe not.

Less room for error on an auto.

 

I came from a manual. I was tired of it. Driving in traffic sux with a MT.

Also the MT on these cars are problematic - check the threads... It was one of the main reasons I finally decided against it.

The AT on this car I did not like all that much either at first. It had a delay in shifting and for the life of me I could not get used to the MM mode. I always wanted to alternate movement for shifts (like a manual) and I hit the rev limiter more than I'd like to admit.

With Gord's grounding gear (to minimize the shift delay) and after months of keeping it in MM mode to learn it, I am very happy with 5AT. It is very well designed with a good torque converter and has all the features you'd want with one exception - being able to coast in neutral. You can't just pop the clutch and coast! I wish pushing the little button in MM mode would do this for you (we need someone to figure out how to do this).

So, if you've never driven a manual, you'll love the 5AT model. Once you get used to the MM mode, you can control this car very well. As well as any 6MT. Those who post "why would anyone get a 5AT on these cars" just hasn't taken the time to learn the MM mode. Once it becomes habit, you can shift, and double shift much faster and more consistently than any MT.

Good luck!
