well..if you are willing to learn manual..go for it..
it's your car..you are the one DRIVING IT..
yes it sucks when you get stucked on the traffic..but
it's cool when you are driving when nobody is around you..
I didn't know how to drive manual until I bought this car..
I've had this for 4 months now..and I'm very happy that I bought 6MT..
again..it's your choice..it's gonna be your car..and it's YOU driving this G..
anyways,,
good luck and I hope you join our G club soon..kekeke

I think the ladies are more interested in the stick that are inside my pants the one's that are inside my car...LOL

you live in LA....the traffic is horrendous. I live in NJ and the traffic here during rush hour is insane...just as bad as in LA. So if you are just learning stick and u don't want to deal with the hastle in traffic where u'll be shifting gears more than you press the brake....you might as well go with the 5AT. No shame in driving automatic.

I assume you're referring to me? You can search all 5300+ of my posts and you are not going to find one of me complaining about having a stick. I would never buy this car in auto and not cause I'm a girly girl, but because I track and auto-x my car more than most of you manly guys do.

As for going in and out of first, it was *STOP*-and-go traffic I was referring to, as in move 5 car lenghts, stop, move another 5, stop again. And if you don't move, someone else will cut you off and those behind you will start honking type of deal.

If it was the same tranny Part #'s would be the same and so would parts. You can't put a G35 tranny in a Titan, it would blow up. The Titan tranny is by the same manufacture but its a different design RE5R05A called a wide ratio model. It has to take 9500lb towing, and different gearing, tranxaxle, 4x2/4x4.

It is not the same tranny in the Titan. Try again.

M35/M45/Q45 have the same tranny but its not the same one as in the Titan.

The clutch on my 04 and 05 were definitely not weak after all the racing abuse I put them through.

Get an MT and you could either love it or hate it, but there's no going back. Go with the AT and the worse thing is you endup driving in Manumatic mode 80% of the time.

Those sound like some high class and quality girls.

wtf is up people arguing which one is better, people get whatever the *** they want, its not that one is more expensive than the other.

A STS-equipped 5AT is $1000 more expensive than a 6MT

All you people complain about traffic, go drive in downtown Rome, that's freakin' traffic, and they do it everyday, with a manual transmission. Most of Europe does. Americans are lazy and want to push the gas and go, the enjoyment of driving a car is shifting the gears. If you want an automatic, go buy an SUV. Discussion done, no more posts please!!

in a previous theard, i wish i could find it, a guy said that he and his friend raced stock for stock, same year (dont rmeber if they were coups or sedans), and that
he got him off the line but by 3rd gear, his friend came up to his bumper and dropped back 3 times jsut not to run into him, so i dont know about the auto

Ummm, most people in Europe drive small cars with small displacement motors hence the need for the additional torque multiplication of a manual. I wouldn't be caught dead owning an auto 4 banger.

As for traffic, try Atlanta when you get a chance. I travel for work and I've been all over Chicago, Jersey, New York, Seattle, and LA and without a doubt, traffic in Atlanta is a zoo. There's a reason why the Atlanta commute holds the title as the most expensive commute in the country. My office was 11 miles from my house. If I left at 630am, I got to work in about 45-50 minutes. If I left at 4pm, it took an hour. If school is in session, then add 15 minutes each way. Taking the highway or side streets results in the same commute time. Often times I was crawling along at 2-5mph. There's no way I'd be caught dead driving a manual in that type of traffic, clutching in and out constantly to keep the motor from stalling along with dealing with the rolling hills in the area.

It depends if you want to enjoy driving a G35 more or MT more. If you want to enjoy driving a G35 MT, it will take you at least 6-12 months especially with the traffic in LA.

Coworkers, neighbors, female car enthusiasts and strangers. I don't think they fall into a precise category other that people that know the difference between auto and stick.
