Looking at a g35 coupe
#16
Actually it's more like, No Highs, No Lows? Must be Bose. I can't wait until the day I rip that crap out of my car...
Anyway... It can be tricky to use the clutch/tranny on this car at times esp starting out. Expect you'll kill it a few times, hell once in a while if i'm tired I still kill mine o.0 Nothing makes you feel more like an idiot though lol... Anyway, in comparison with other cars around this class I'd say it's probably about the same, my clutch is a bit whacked so that makes it a bit different but it's roughly the same as my vr4 was. Compared to say a civic or a GTI or such, it's a lot more touchy... but well worth the feedback you receive from it. Just like someone said above, would you rather hear about it or just play the real thing :P1

Well it is very difficult to get dealers to let me test drive a 6 speed because i am only 17 (no spoiled jokes...i worked my *** off for it), especially after i tell them i only learned a week ago, even if i am with my dad they still wont let me. I tried to get my dad to take one out for a day and just let me drive it but....he wouldn't go for that.
Makes me mad too cause its like, what is my money not as good as that mf'er over there? I could buy this car right now with the money I have in the bank.

yeah I actually came from a white car also. Black can be very very hard to keep clean. All of my friends who have that color hate it after they leave the lot. I would say youll want to worry more about finding a car for a great price that's in top notch condition, then color second. The color won't matter when its sitting at the shop getting fixed. I ended up getting my second color choice and third in interior. It was just too great of a car to pass up.

I have an OB coupe and it is a bit hard to keep it clean but i realized that if you keep a good wax on it, the thing will still look amazingly shiny until you get up pretty close...

how hard is it to install a short shifter? or did you just get it installed? if so how much total for everything?

Once again how hard is the install? Cost? And will that void the warranty?

not hard to install. I think I spent 2beans on it..no warranty issue unless
you create damage as a result of install...and thats really hard too do

I wouldnt trade the 6MT for an auto ever. Once you get used to driving it, you'll be set. The clunking noise and clutch chatter can be a little annoying but its worth it. Btw, I'd look into a 2003 or 2004 since the 05+ have oil consumption issues with the engine, and plus the 03 and 04's come with brembo brakes.
