6mt or Auto

I've been looking for a 6mt, found a few but they sell to fast or out of my price range. Now considering auto, only cause there so easy to find. Of course it will be the sport package!

Now help me choose...

Wait for a 6mt in my price range

Go out and get me an auto


help me out. Even suggest difference between the two.

If I do get an auto, it has to be an 08 with sport package; Ipod interface

If you really want a 6MT, hold out for it. Don't just settle for the sake of settling, or you will eventually regret it.

All 6mt drivers will vote for 6mt and majority 5ats will vote for AT. So at the end of the day its all up to your patience level and passion for getting the MT! Either way you will enjoy the car!

Wait for the 6mt.

Out of curiosity, what is the price range you're looking for and what have you seen the 6mt's go for?

It seems both you and your wife would prefer stick. Dont buy an auto and regret later down the line. I think you should get what you want.

6mt range from 24-31k depending on packages, miles and year.

my price range is 25k.

Right now I have about 5 dealers helping me get my 6mt. some dealers are out of state.

seems all the 6mts are on the east coast...



found a few autos fully loaded but no sport for about 24-30k

I personally prefer an Auto for a sedan.. Especially in LA traffic..

However, if i was u.. i would wait and get a 6MT.. If that's what you really want.

Good LUck!

I so would.... but I have to trade in my coupe first, which I still owe on it.



Im also being a little picky... G has to be Black or Blue Slate. Also, sticking with an Infiniti dealer. Lower interest rates, if I get financed through them. Starting at 2.9 percent on used cars. I do have the credit score

I have an AT, but voted for waiting for the MT. Yes, i've made the mistake myself by not waiting.

Regaining the feel and control of shifting at will. That means the world to me after having driven AT's for the past 10 years. I told myself "never again", but eventually settled for the AT G because it was the only one available and after having rid myself of the prior car, it didn't make sense at that time to take a rental until i could find the MT.

I shift the AT at will, but it's just not the same, although it is a pretty good transmission to begin with.
