If you want to have a "sports" car then get the manual. The clutch and shifter is a bit jerky between shifts. I wouldn't put this tranny above anything but mayb a hyundai. But with a bit of practice, you could pull off smooth shifts with little concentration. I hate the 6mt at times but at times I like the control. Oh and many people are having tranny issues and having to replace them so good luck with your decision. If I were to choose again, I would get the auto but its too late now (don't feel like trading it in and losing alot of $$ which i don't have much of) and the shifting is gettin better. Whichever you choose, I bet you'll b happy.

My only regret is that I wish I learned how to drive a stick shift before I bought my G35. This is my first manual car. I stalled a couple of time on the street, and rolled backward half a car length on a hill. Very scary when you're driving a $33K+ car. I hope my clutch didn't wear out as much. I'm getting used to it now and loving it.
