Default Dream Machine

I'm getting a 350z in about two weeks from now, just wanted to ask which model or options should I consider most, any suggestions are welcomed.

The trip-tronic or manual , which should I go for. It's for daily use and not to much modifications.(engine)

thanks

if the Nismo doesn't do it for you get a Grand Touring, if money isn't an issue..and get a Manual if you really like driving..wish I did. If you like being lazy get the Auto

No. Automatic drivers get a manual shift **** and boot and pretend they are shifting.

Yea, I know the feelings differant. I'm thinking of getting the auto w/triptronic (never drove one) but I'm not sure if it's going to be fun when I need it. Most of the time I'll be driving long distance so that's why I'm concidering this gear very much............

but I tend to like the manual

I drive to and from columbus a lot, its about a two hour drive, most of the time you end up in 6th gear pretty fast and dont leave it for the entire trip. So having an automatic for long distances doesnt really make a difference.

The only time an automatic would help would be stop and go traffic and I dont really mind the manual in that either.

good point, but my drive is 5-6 hour (550KM) once or twice a week......and in a Z it might take less hours

Don't know Yet, I want a manual a bit more but, like I said above!!!!!!! I still have two,three weeks to decide...TKs
