Cool man will do. Yeah I think I'll stick to playing it safe with an auto for this round. I'm keeping my eyes open but it looks like an auto sport is super rare over in our market? :O I think the closest one I saw a few days ago was in VA Beach!
Thanks for the tip, I'll keep my eyes open for one.

Ohh, I was keeping an eye out for 2012/2013 year models from previous advice.
I mean, I think a journey might just suffice and cover everything I may need. But since this is my first ever "fun" vehicle I'm getting and not your typical practical, responsible one I had for the last two. I'll keep looking for a S model. I'm so distracted from work at the idea of being thrilled every time I get into my future g37.

I recommend driving an auto before setting your mind to it. I think you'll be surprised. It isn't like any auto I've ever drove before in terms of how twitchy it is.
2012 + is a good idea unless the service records show that a pre 2012 model was fixed using anything other than the inferior gasket.

Im so glad I'm not the only one that thinks that lol. I have a 2013 G Sedan. The auto transmission sucks. Especially in traffic. I love the handling, looks, value and performance but Auto is so jerky at lower speeds.

to the guy saying the auto is faster, stop smoking that crack lol. Most sales guys ain't car guys anyways lol. unless you have a DCT, a regular auto is not shifting faster than a 6MT.
Auto trans have more drivetrain loss and as far as gas mileage your case is flawed because the 08 5AT defs gets worse gas milage than the 7AT.

OP, knowing what I know now I would highly recommend finding an S. Well worth the extra changes some of which you just can't do to a Non-S.

*ATs have a TQ converter while the MTs do not. The TQ converter results in a greater loss of power through the drivetrain to the wheels which results in the MT models putting more power to the wheels stock for stock.*
fixed.
What are the changes that can't be done?
