To the OP test drive both and make your own decision. Personally, I wouldn't even consider an auto unless I had low 12 second car that would benefit more from an auto.

However, like others said the 6MT G is absolutely terrible driving in the city (on a daily basis). The manual transmission on the G is probably the worst I have ever driven.

Wow, really? What other's have you driven? I can tell you that the G35 manual is a cake walk compared to that on the 996 Turbo and the F355 Spyder I got to drive before. Even the manual on my STi is more difficult. It's not as slick as the NSX and Boxster, but definetly liveable in traffic.

Pretty much most cars in the tuner scene. S2K, RSX-S/SI, Evo, GTI, TL-S, E92 335i/M3. The WRX I drove was pretty close to the G but I still think the G is worst, never driven an STi though. I sometimes feel the pedal is inconsistent on the G depending on the weather.

Never driven a 996/F355/NSX (lucky) but I would imagine the F355 being the most "sensitive".

I see. From your list, I've driven only the EVO 5-speed and I too think it's a little easier than the G. I've driven a couple of E36 M3's and I think they are comparable to the G. I'll be honest that I didn't have as much seat time in a 6MT G as the other cars though. The pedal and shifter on my STi are very picky about the weather for sure.

The NSX was like butter. The F355 was a beating...but oh so worth it.

i m not taking sides but man whats wrong living with your own family? it does not make you a loser unless you are not working and they pay for everything.

i left my family when i was 18 (i moved to different city-now country) if they were close to me i would still live with them until have a common law spouse or wife.

why u guys imply living with family as an insult.

but about the language going on in the previous posts, if u dont respect to other users (new/old does not matter) u will get flamed,



back to the subject, I like my 5at am pretty comfortable with it, but there are times when i just wanna shift fast ,little tire action while changing gear is pretty cool. i guess if i ever buy another coupe i ll go back manual!

I have 2 problems with the automatic: It shifts too slow and it needs at least one more gear. I'm running too high of RPM's at only 80mph.

It kills me, especially on this forum. There is a lot of guys that can't act like the adults they are.

Either way your still braking right??
Doesn't matter what the car is.

And no need to get all defensive because you have an AT.
