Dilemma... G35 vs G35MT
#106
The MT coupes will be a little faster than the AT coupes, albeit not by much. If you need every ounce of performance out of the car, get the g35 coupe 6MT. If it's used, make sure it has the sport suspension.
If you don't care, and just want to have some fun once in a while, get the auto. It's easier on your legs and and just as easy on the eyes. And you won't have to be concerned with replacing the clutch/flywheel in the near future.

ps. I would not choose to learn how to drive stick on a G- while the controls are well placed and easy to use, 300 hp is a lot of power, and clutches and cogs are expensive. The AT in manual mode is fun to change gears with, is very effective and well thought out. It does rev matching on downshifts, and does not change gears at redline like most Germans (having the car change gears without you choosing can upset the chassis mid-turn, for example- bad)
If you decide on the 6MT anyway, it is fun to have the extra revs, but I'd suggest thrashing a Civic or Focus to learn how to drive a stick.

if its "THE sports car" that you're looking for, you'll definitly regret getting an auto...it'll get boring after a weeks worth of driving it hard
btw the manual mode on the auto is anything but quick when changing gears especially compared to a stick
just buy the MT and i'll teach you how to drive it...lol
dt la is like 10 mins away

Just remember what I posted about the AMG, it only comes in auto and that is a true sports car.

Unless u are gonna devote urself for more than a year practicing stick shift to its full potential, i say go with 5AT. As far as handling, 5at is available with sport suspension so handling is similar. The only advantage 6MT has is that, with the right driver u can downshift quicker and later before a turn.

Mashing the pedal is EASIER in an auto, but its not as quick as a stick. She'll learn how to drive it, and drive it WELL by buying the car. That's how you learn, buy it, drive it, learn it.
Cornering is where the manual tranny shines. Instead of flipping between gears, you hold your gear, preventing your rear from kicking out between up or down shifts. Manual is just SAFER in turning under acceleration - say...on an off ramp.
If you want "THE" sports car, get the stick, you'll only regret it during traffic. If you get the auto, you'll always regret not buying the stick to learn on. Everyone needs at least one manual tranny car in their life.

I used to own SH prelude and MR2 Turbo, I enjoy driving MT back in the days when I used to just go out and have fun without anything to worry about but now, I have greater things I have to face in life with work and a greater responsibility instead of phoking around. I'm sure many of the members on the forum are just people like me, the only gay guy here is you, you need to swap out the shifter and replace that with a D1ck!

they;re not even in the same level...
you cant even compare the two
actually you can compare the two,
AMG's = smooth quick shifts
G = sh1tty

But you still can't beat the 'feel' you get with the MT.
