For a sports car I want a manual. It's about more than 0-60 times for me. It's simply more fun for me, even if they could shave a second off with an automatic. People should get the car that resonates with them, regardless of transmission, cylinder count, make, etc. Don't be shitty about what other people want.

Always had manual sports cars, but I'm going to buy the auto Nismo after I drove it. It's faster and feels a lot like a manual in manual mode (although boring in Drive), because it has direct lock-up 2-7 gears and even engine braking. Also, the shifting is so fast--certainly faster than I shift.

That’s because certain types of autos pair great with certain cars and some don’t, a 7spd dual clutch auto paired to a high revving v8 is much more desirable of a combination than a slow torque converter auto paired to a low revving 4 banger

I love your honest and fair comparison between the 2. When I bought my G37s (auto) about 2 years ago I was debating hard between and auto and a stick. But man I live Los Angeles and I have to 30mins on the 405 to work and back. So I was happy to get the auto. But thankfully I was able to get the S which comes with paddles and from time to time I'll drive in manual mode, not as engaging as stick. But somewhat close. But I do have to give props to those who have a stick and drive in bumper to bumper traffic. IDK how you guys do it, because that shit was drive me crazy.

It's like having the best of both worlds sure all the gear heads will tell you fuck that you can't feel the car you're not getting that relationship but honestly I have an automatic and when you got the paddle shifters going I'm like man fuck a clutch this shit is pretty much the same thing, not hating on manuals or anthing im just saying, automatic vs manual should never dictate who you are and what you know you like, ill consider myself a gear head either way, oh and also if it's gonna be you're daily just think of how much more convenient it would be to able to switch between the two just saying!

That’s why get 2 different cars. A manual and an automatic daily driver. Manual gives you full control over your vehicle and it demands your attention unlike automatic.

I had an auto 350z in college and the stigma and flack of owning an auto sports car really gets to you, especially knowing how much faster the manual was than the auto in the z33 generation and also how uncool it was to have a car that people would memeas "retarded." I took it to heart and when I picked up my next car, a manual WRX I finally realized why an enthusiast would think such a way. I refuse to go back to automatic now, I don't care if it's a flappy paddle, super fast shifting, godly transmission, there is ZERO replacement for the feeling of having full control of your car, from downshifting, rev matching, heel and toe, etc...the drive is so much more rewarding and I feel that I didn't waste the potential of the car. Im in la traffic constantly going to Orange county and honestly, the complaints abt manual in traffic is from the lazy asses out there. It's not that bad and not that different from driving in the city, mind you I have 12 hour shifts and a long commute back and forth and if anything, manual makes my commute worth it. I'll never go back and someday wish to swap the transmission in my Z when time comes for an engine swap. Manual is the only true enthusiast transmission, I don't care if your auto is faster and more advance, it cannot replace the connection between car and driver.

I have a G37s now but bought a nissan 240sx when I was 18 and it was a manual, and loved the connection I had with a manual car. My G now is my daily driver and won't trade my manual for an auto just love the feel I have with my car.

Being in the autotmotive field, there's no doubt that efficiency and speed wise that the auto is superior. However, the experience of the manual is always gonna be the winner in my books. There's just no equivalent feeling to banging gears and hitting the clutch and heel toeing and whatnot, even as my daily is a manual and being in my fair share of chicago traffic I wouldn't want it any other way. I've been in higher performance auto vehicles such as a 458 (per those companies that go around to different tracks and you can drive supercars for whatever price) and not once did I think "wow this shifts so fast." Auto is the efficient way to go, manual is the fun way to go

I own a 2015 6MT 370z Nismo and have found myself on many occasions thinking about trading it for an auto. I love the involvement of a manual when hooning about on country roads but for general driving around town I tend to fall out of love with it. For such a new car, the gearbox is really quite embarrassing. It's so noisy it actually makes me cringe at car shows and pray to the car gods that it doesn't clunk/grind when changing 1st to 2nd gear at a low speed - something it is renowned for when cold. I think I need to try an auto to see if it would convince me the manual is better after all..

Great Wisdom. I have a Genesis coupe automatic

I have an auto 350z and i am usually glad because i drive in heavy traffic often. I also would agree as well that the Z cars have very good auto transmissions. They're still very engaging and fun but convenient when needed which for me is nearly every day. There are days though that i would like the extra connection with the vehicle but i still feel that the auto is currently a better option for me personally.

Honestly, people just need to be more open minded. For the manual guys, take the time and go drive a good paddle shifting transmission. You will understand just how useful it can be for spirited driving on a backroad or on a track, as well as having the ability to use it as a convenient commuter car makes it a very viable option, especially for those who use it as a daily driver. Automatic guys, you have to understand that driving a manual has a MUCH MUCH more engaging feel to driving than even a paddle shifting transmission does. It is less efficient and it is slower than a paddle shifting transmission, but the thrill of a perfect heel-toe downshift and being able to feel the mechanical feedback of a clutch and shifter is truly a very engaging and wonderful experience. Both are wonderful for different types of drivers and different types of driving scenarios.

mrpmj00 I daily drive a Fiesta ST. Nice job jumping to conclusions though.

For me, sports cars are by far my favorite type of car. I just love how awesome they perform compared to other cars. Not even muscle cars (another favorite of mine) can stand up to the well rounded performance a sports car offers. I mean, they're fast, accelerate quickly, are very precise when turning around corners. To top it all off, they look awesome too with their sleek and low profile design. My favorite car is the C7 Corvette. Love the design, and the fact you're getting supercar performance while only paying a fraction of the cost. Now the question is, which transmission is best for a sports car? In my opinion I think that all depends on what you're looking for. If you're just looking for something fun and interactive, a manual may be for you. But for me personally I find the automatic transmission to be much more "sporty". It really makes a sports car true to its name. Sure, driving manual could be fun. But in my opinion I don't really think having my smooth ride down a winding road interrupted by a gear shift sounds fun. Or hitting a sharp turn on a track and having to downshift. It draws attention away from the feeling of freedom that comes with driving a sports car down the road. For me at least. At the end of the day all I can say is, drive what you enjoy the most. The best thing about cars is our freedom to choose. A freedom that is slowly being lost as the market moves to pushing sales of boring crossovers and electric vehicles.

If I didn't drive a manual in heavy traffic I'd probably fall asleep. I don't get why everyone always says bumper to bumper traffic is super annoying while driving a manual. I like needing to work the clutch and shift through the first couple gears. Like you said, it makes the most mundane drives an experience. I want to have to drive my car, where's the fun if it does all the work for you? I can't flatten my pedal at all times, so a clutch and stick fills in the gap. Edit: and anybody who says paddle shifters have the same effect are dead wrong and must've never actually driven a manual. Easing up in traffic is all in the clutch.

driving an automatic for like most of my life was prety cool, u could really move in sports/mode or with paddle shifters but when u hop into a manual and take that thing around for a ride it feels like a whole new car. it just feels like your drivin on a cloud once you get really good at it

I love it, I really didn`t know how good this cars are until I test it myself, but watching your explanation I would say the Auto transm. is a more advanced technology because you can shift up or down like manual T. the difference is that you do not need a Clutch and you get the same result than manual T. I can hear the sound when you shift. and remember no headache on traffic, and they are a bit faster. I always hear manual T. more fun, but I do not know why? If I have to shouse I`l get the the Manual Transmission, all school brather. Thanks for your videos you are good.

i'm looking at manual sportscars now that i've been on a break for a few years from owning one. the reason i took a break is that i have driven a manual for so many years that i became so used to it that it was like driving an automatic. so i'm hoping that when i get a rwd manual sportscar that the same love and passion that i once had for manuals will come back.

I drive a manual everyday and I don't even notice that I shift anymore, so I don't find it annoying at all. I'll take off and then I'm like holy shit when did I get into 5th gear lol

Yeah the automatic is a great choice for traffic. Manual is way more fun tho if you have less stop and go

I liked this video because I was swallowed by the beauty of the environment you was driving. Tranquility. ♥️

Driving manual for now in my first car and is fun but the downside being stuck in London traffic can be a bit of work sometimes. When I can get around to getting my dream car the Nismo 370z I will then decide on what transmission is the best option.

You do know that you can still paddle shift without putting it in manual mode!! I have owned both and honestly exhaust sounds lot better in manual than automatic.

Manual transmissions have long been the enthusiasts weapon of choice. Nothing screams “I love cars!” more than three pedals and a gear lever. A manual transmission is also still the best way to feel engaged to the car you’re driving. Despite the manual control and rapid shift times of a DCT, the manual gearbox is still the more fun and most engaging to drive.

I bought a 2015 370Z Nismo same color as yours, almost all of my cars have been white, I went with the automatic cause my wife doesn't drive a manual & I was not about to teach her in a 370Z Nismo, I'm so happy I went with the automatic, I feel instant power and the rev matching is a plus. I'm always in heavy south Florida traffic so a manual is not as fun in traffic.

Almost every car I have ever owned had manual transmissions. I live in Southern California where there are a lot of hills, and a lot of traffic, and I have gotten into a few scary situations on steep hills where I could roll back into the car behind me, or roll off a cliff if I did not let the clutch out just right. I moved to Phoenix for a while which is very flat, but now I am back in San Diego and much older now, so I would no longer consider a manual transmission. I also had a Cadillac ELR which was very economical but definitely not as much fun to drive as the Z's I owned, so hopefully I will be back in a 370Z by the end of this week, and it is auto.

I'd choose the manual... I think with automatic most cars just feel like a car and nothing more... With manual you get a better feel for your car and it actually feels like a friend and not just a car

Yes, stick shift is pure enjoyment. No slushbox/DCT excuses. All you need for fun is power, 3 pedals stickshift, chasis, lightweight, and an open air top whether it's a sunroof or targa top or convertible.

Manual is the best and most genuine and raw driving experience. Driving an auto is not knowing how to really drive, or not using the most of your abilities. To drive a manual properly actually requires true skill.

It’ll Make You Cooler Say what you will, but there can be no argument on this point: If you see a sports car with an automatic transmission, you're disappointed. Perhaps even judgmental. But if the car has a manual? That's cool. Manual transmissions are cooler. Plain and simple.

I bought my 370z with an automatic because it was a good deal at the time. The 7 speed is a really good transmission but I am currently looking to purchase one with the manual. The base model does not have paddle shifters unfortunately.

Glad I got the Auto here, I can lean-back and surprise about any passenger with paddle shift performance, and its rev capabilities, and not have wear issues of clutch, throw-out bearings or warped pressure plates as I always seem to have in my earlier manuals, still enjoy a calm ride, or even attend most attention to a conversation when necessary. I don't really care for the constant rubbing and brushing of the back, inside of my arm on the bolstered seat while working a manual.

haha nice! Thanks for the support!

I very much enjoyed my 6 speed manual 370Z. I never drove one with an auto. I wished that they would have a dual clutch like the GTR. I presently have a 7 speed manual Corvette Stingray. Both of them have rev matching and I really like that a great deal. I don't like the mushy feeling of most autos due to the torque converter. The shifting and the clutch feel of my 370Z was much improved when my throw out bearing died and the dealer replaced the clutch under a free factory replacement program that I didn't know about (mine was a 2013) The second clutch was much smoother and easier to modulate. The next time I buy a car I may give the auto a try and see what it's like. I should have the C7 for a while though, I have a 30 mile commute both ways every day, but there is only one traffic light and the speed limit is 70 or 75 pretty much the whole way:-)

With the current camaro ss and mustang gt performances, I don't see any reason purchasing a 370z nismo! Maybe the styling? Styling is also outdated too!

Hey you stupid ass. Lets start with the facts. 370Z came out on 2009 and the styling stayed the same till now. Camaro 5th gen came out on 2009 as well and the styling changed 3 times already. Same with the mustang. Not even just styling, the power, torque, handling all is on another league on the camaro and the mustang. There is no stupid funny way to spend money on a 370z unless they swap a turbo or a supercharger from the factory. American sports cars are offering more for the same amount of money. Go do yourself and your country a favor and get one. Piece out!

The transmission isn't the sole factor in deciding the result of a race, the driver is, not to mention the rest of the car. The only situation I can see an indisputable advantage is trying to break straight line records (which who gives a fuck?) "To go fast in a straight line you need a fast car but to go fast around the corners you need a fast driver". Also autos do have to replace clutches and when they do it'll also cost ALOT more...Poor try tho.

@ryanrs1000

6 жыл бұрын

The Rex life literally wrong again. Not sure how you think the driver is the sole factor in a race, that's moreso with manuals because you, the driver, have to choose when to shift gears. Automatics have powertrain control modules that decide how and when to shift and when they do they execute it with virtually no powerloss. Can manuals do that? Nope. Also not sure when automatics have to replace clutch packs, never seen one go bad in the 4 autos I've owned. Even had one close to 250k miles with 0 tranny problems. But again, keep trying to make minuscule arguments to validate your shit opinion. Will we even have manuals in 10 years? Didn't think so.

Looks like someone can't read "...the driver is, not to mention the rest of the car...". Go do a little research, just because you drove your car from point a-b like a granny doesn't put you in the same boat as people who put some beat on theirs. Either way, fact is they get changed and they get changed for a lot more. Letting the trans dictate when you shift completely contradicts racing where YOU want FULL control of the vehicle. The car doesn't know the lines, it doesn't know at where and when to brake or downshift. I doubt your autos were neither "modern" nor raced. But that's typical of auto drivers, celebrate SOMEONE ELSE'S hypothetical victory to compensate for having a vagina and not being able to do it themselves.

Like he said the automatics with the paddle shifters are better because you can just treat it as a manual whenever it's convenient and it has the luxury of being automated as well. Yeah teslas are cool but I get your whole it kills the experience type of perspective, it's just some people have to stop at every single stop light, drive in overcongested public roads and have to deal with annoying tailgaters who will honk literally 0.00000000001 seconds after a light turning green if you stall.

Everyone is talking about how all the supercars and Hyper cars are auto. This is true but remember the number one mission for these cars are speed. Every car maker is obsessed with the fastest 0-60 times. As this is the marketing tool to sell cars in 2021. And as he states in the video an auto is much faster than a manual. As you can never shift faster than a computer. That’s why the new muscle cars like Ford SuperSnake and some others come in manual. They are more focused on the driving experience than 0-60 or quarter mile times.

@BrosFOURRSpeed

You make a good point! The hypercars are what you want if you want to go fast and showoff, and while they can be true driving cars, the manual is where it's at! Going through the gears and actually having to drive the car makes it a lot more fun especially when ripping on some back roads or on the track! Both have advantages and disadvantages, just whichever you prefer really!
