"this is a very hard car to drive"
OK...I think I can help you...
Sit in the drivers seat. Key goes in slot to the right of the "steering wheel" (see "round thing in front of you below"). Turn clockwise to ignite engine. The pedal below your right foot is the accelerator (GO) pedal. The pedal to the left of that one is the brake (STOP) pedal. The round thing in front of you is the "steering wheel". When you rotate it right, you go right. When you rotate it left, you go left. (Disclaimer: Steering response dependent on speed and road conditions). The windshield is the big "window" you look forward out of. That thing hanging from the middle inside of the windshield is the "rearview mirror". This is really good for only two things. 1) Checking for flashing red and blue lights and, more importantly, 2) Look at that big smile on your face 'cause you are driving a G!
Seriously...congratulations. Have fun enjoying the G and welcome to the site as an actual "user"!

He means the G35 6MT is a hard car to drive at first, in comparison to some similar cars like BMW.
I agree, the car is not as intuitive and smooth as a BMW at first. The transmission is notchy, sometimes balky, and must be shifted firmly and with authority in order to properly engage - again, not the smooth, silky action of a BMW, Mercedes, or even Audi. It's hard to get used to the "cement mixer" clutch in the 6MT, and to control the takeup of the clutch with the long throw of the clutch pedal (which many have modified). , and the throttle action is a little vague, too, at first use.
All things unique to this car, and he'll get used to everything soon. As your confidence grows, and you learn how to use this machine, every day is better and better. Welcome to the club !!

I agree that the 6mt is hard to get used to. I find the transmission great but the clutch took a lot to get used to. Both my wife and I have had several MT cars but we were giving each other whiplashes until we got the hang of the clutch.
Congrats on your new toy, err, car... I have an 04 6MT sedan as well, and I really enjoy the driving experience. Getting used to the 6MT will take a little time [it did for me], but I'm sure that once you get it down, it will be a fun ride.
First of all, congrat!!!
I agree with everyone else about the clutch. My other cars are all MT and when I test drive the G, I almost stall it and also giving the sales guy whiplashes. But then after a couple of days, I got used to it.

NO worries. After having my car for 2 days i am used to it already no more jerking and stalling the car again.
Thnx for all the replies and now its time to enjoy this car
By the way i smoked a 330ZHP auto today it was fun. Both cars have about 150 miles on it so it was a fair race.
