Why shift at all if it's a problem, get the 7AT and be done with it.

 

Mostly because I loathe automatics, and I'll do anything I can to avoid one. At least with paddle shifters I have some semblance of control. I despise automatics for many reasons. I feel like I'm steering, instead of driving. Higher brake wear, etc.

 

as said before you can control your shifting "manually" with the shifter the same way you can with the paddles... to be honest the manual shifting is horribly slow and i find that i rarely use the paddles unless i need to keep it in a lower gear. I think if you search you can find a DIY to add the shifters, i think ive seen the paddles for sale for around $250ish

 

Yeah that's an afterthought at this point. I mostly just want a good quality XS for the right price.

 

If the exterior and the interior looks good, then it's a good indication that the car was well maintained. But still get the maintenance history if possible, for your p.o.m get a full inspection done. Mileage shouldn't be a deal breaker. But like everyone else has mentioned the price is a little on the high side, by I would say $5 - $6K. But then again everything's expensive in Canada

 

I know this is a month and a half old thread but What the hay! I'm seeing a 09 G37S Coupe 6MT with 91000k for around $19500. Good deal? I am having a hard time finding good clean 6mt coupe with nav in my area. Whatcha think? Should I jump on it?
