got the 05 6mt sedan. It rocks! the tranny is great once you get used to it, but make sure ur 05 is still under warranty, cause it could come in handy if issues some up with ur synchros. SOme have gotten transmissions replaced under warranty.

Thumbs down watch out!!!

Mine along with many others are consuming oil do a search on consumption and you will see that the 05 and 06 manual tranies are apparently , because the vacuum effect in the engine is pulling the oil into the plenum and burning it there. Infinity was replacing engines but found that the new ones were doing it to. so right now they dont have a fix. I have a 05 with 6000 miles and every 500 miles i have to add 1/4 to 1/2 a quart. I have my engine slightly modded still NA now I have to take the s@#t off to do a consumption test and I was about to go FI but not on an engine which from what it sounds like cannot hold the compression. I think I am just going to take a hit and remove the mods and sell this piece of s#$t. Maybe buy a BMW or wait and see if the new g coupes have the same issue.
