Does anyone else wish they would've gotten manual?
 

I got automatic and I am regretting it. Ugh! Anyone else with me?

:suicide: Nice thread!

^:werd:

At least you're not getting a work out in traffic. :rolleyes:

Lol you should've thought of that

Nope, b/c I wasn't dumb enough to buy an auto in the first place

If I would've got a 370z or a GTR instead of a 350z then I would've gotten an auto because they have the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel but I got a manual on my 2006

Oh boy. Time for another of the annual AT vs MT debates.

I bought an auto 03 enth AT and had it for a year and just traded it in for a 03 touring with manual. The tiptronic is fun for awhile but its just not the same. with the touring I got all the options. so I feel like I upgraded a bit.

Nope,love my AT.
My wife drives the Z.She does'nt give me a hard time when I dump tons of money on mods.
I'm guessing you are well under 25...
Your needs&wants change when you age.Convenience is one of them.
Besides,you can get a tune(I did)that will modify the shift points on a AT.
Sorta puts the car in a "sport" mode as I had in a previous car.

You should have given more thought before you bought the car.
Besides,I've got MT in my 70' Lotus Europa JPS.

Do you not see 5 "350Z has the worst tranny" threads? they're talking about manual. boost it and you'll change your mind about auto.

Nope, I have no problem owning an AT.
A lot of people bust my balls for it, but I really could care less.

A Z is a Z, tiptronic is good enough for me, and being able to chill in traffic and on hills is a bonus.

However if I do decide to go FI, I will probably switch over to manual. :icon39:

This makes me feel better about my choice. This is my first car so I didn't want to ruin a manual transmission. Is an automatic worth modding at all? When I get a 370z I'll definitely get manual

Lol... the lulz

Trust me when I say that almost any question you can think of, has already been asked and answered.

Here's some more light reading for you....

thats why my auto transmission is out and the 6 speed is about to go in. should be in within the week.

Lol I done the same thing. $6k mistake. traded in old car for the manual version

No big deal. Go buy another Z with manual and you will have best of both worlds :) Auto on traffic days and manual for spirited driving on the weekends.

hmmm...sometimes i wish i had an automatic and then I slap my self silly and tell my self to man up and work the clutch. Thank god I am only stuck in rush hour once every 2 months and only ponder upon this thought 6 times a year for 30 seconds at a time. Every time I am driving my wife's camry with an automatic I am craving to push a clutch in or row some gears. Triptonic is a joke if you really think it will hold you over and replace a manual transmission. Enjoy drivetrain loss and all the other perks that come with it.

I wish I had that option! haha

R35 GTR's only come auto....
