basically if you have to ask, get auto

dunno this misconception about stick being a pain to drive in the city, if you love driving stick then you put up with it and get used to it

you cant call it a sports car unless its a manual...and you cant say your a good driver unless you know how to drive stick.

Every car I have ever owned has been a black MT... I feel I have so much more control, theres no comparison in how quick it feels when comparing AT vs MT. Even the sport shift modes most new AT's come with feel delayed and a whole lot slower than if they were just MT's

get the manual, every time I see a sweet car in a parking lot somewhere and go in for a closer look only to see that its an auto, my heart sinks... an automatic sports car is like a beautiful woman with a *****... do you want a beautiful woman with a *****?

Its also a luxury car....if i wanted a SPORTS CAR i wouldnt have gotten a g35 its not that fast compared to alot of SPORTS cars. IMO a luxury car isn't manual its automatic. thats why i went 5AT.....

Not to start and argument, but lets look at some of THE most luxurious cars on the road.

Bentley AUTO
Mercedes AUTO
Rolls Royce AUTO

Luxury is automatic, there is no luxury in driving stick, people who like luxury cars don't like doing work lol

And G2flip4; have you driven a 5at G/Z? You're aware that the car will not shift unless you make it shift? It will bounce off the rev limiter just like a 6mt car. Not to say it's the same, but it's not like most tiptronic cars.

Agreed. You need skill to drive a 6MT.
