i have a 5 AT and voted 6MT...my car was bought for me as a Company Car..however i own the company i still could not wait at the time for a 6MT...its so Gay they don't stock more standards...its a sport sedan....so def wait for the 6mt or you will be regretting it for years like me
This has been discussed ad infinitum on the boards. The gist of the advice is typically:
I went in to buy a 6MT, but the shifters and AT characteristics (won't shift unless you do) achieves what I wanted. Many reviews have been negative about the stick shift vibrations and notchy clutch, but will let the MT drivers comment.
Good luck either way
- If you really want a 6MT, you should wait for one, otherwise you'll likely regret it
- If you're used to driving MT, you should wait for one, ditto
- If you typically drive auto, and the 6MT was a "this would be cool to have", auto and paddle shifters will likely be fine

I'm a practical person who doesn't need all the bells and whistles. If it has it great, if not, oh well

My G is AT and i like it a lot because shifting is always on point. Ull never have the typical excuse of "I lost cause i missed a gear" also ive raced alot of cars with my G and ive noticed that AT hooks alot better at the line. I always beat 6mt off the line while there burning out I already left.
