I've recently started to regularly commute my Z (100+ miles daily). As mentioned before, you have to learn what routes to take in order to dodge traffic. Driving a manual in traffic isnt that bad. It gives you a chance to practice precise clutch & throttle control!

What really sucks is the poorly maintained surface streets and ridiculous dips at intersections. Super brutal on a lowered car & rims.

 

i have no problems with MT <---santa monica

but i only drive 10k/year

 

06+ are definatly a plus over the older model, try driving both and youll understand.

 

traffic is bad but its bearable,

if itll make you feel better i have non reclinable Brides ive been driving for 5 years and my clutch is stiff as ****




i think youll have more fun with a manual

either or good luck and welcome

 

Were you wearing your gas mask? hehe

 

how so?
i thought the hp and torque bump came in for the 05's?

 

Naaa.. hahaha not that crazy... I mean you felt it.. open your eyes inside and it's game over.

my thread on the bong got deleted.. wtf...


naaaa... I got the 05 and wanted to kick myself after seeing the 06 came out...

kinda like how I got my X for 2.9% apr and 0% came out right after...

always a step earlier...

 

haha bad luck buddy. now i know to buy anything a year after you have. hahaha

but still, why is the 06 better then the 05?
i mean i heard there were like standard HID lights, changed cloths, and climate control, but thats about it...
O and different tail/head lights...? is it really that much better?

 

it depends on when you will be driving. If in rush hour times, forget a stick. You will have a huge left leg and an itty bitty right leg. If you are driving in odd hours, go for it.

 

So pretty you just gotta learn the area that you are planning on driving everyday and making sure you have a back up route in any case traffic is bad one way. Traffic is pretty bad in LA but after a while it will be second nature to you.

BTW Im selling my manual 05 PPW Z with mods. Mods are in my sig, so check it out if you are interested and send me a PM

One more thing...WELCOME TO LA BRO!!!

 

so that's what they call it! automatic... go figure =)

 

i live in koreatown and drive thru traffic daily with a manual. its worth it when the roads are clear. plus the clutch comes second nature. w/o thought.

 

and the SGV, OC,SFV that **** is NOT l.a.
