From 08 coupe to 11 6MT Sedan

First I want to say thanks to Scottybegood for helping me out in making the switch. The best car salesman I've ever worked with.. Honest and real about pricing etc.. Highly recommended to anyone in the Philly/south jersey area to check with Scottybegood if your looking for a new car..

Went from an 08 S OB 5AT Coupe to a Graphite shadow/graphite 6MT Sedan and although I loved my coupe the 6MT is a different type of car. I'll post pics when I get home as I am writing this from work.

I'd also like to hear how the 08 auto coupe compares to the 11 6mt sedan. I just picked up our 11 6mt sedan (also in gs/g) about 2 weeks ago.

I came from a 02 Maxima SE 6mt with the 3.5. Torque steer was too much but it felt like it was as fast as the G37 but I don't miss the wheel hop at all.

Thanks guys.

The auto coupe is fast but compared to a 6MT to me it doesn't compare.

that's the automatic lol

and that's the 6MT lol

this is just my opinion.. but I am enjoying the car as well as learning it all over again..

the aero kit looks nice. I'm gonna add the front lip in the spring along with a few other goodies.

edit: How is the handling/ride in the sedan compared to to the coupe?

I've only had the car for two days but so far from what I can tell the coupe handles better but has a harsher ride than the sedan. The sedan is softer on bumps and handles well. Since it's lighter then the coupe it's faster ( think we all know that).

It looks like they took the 2010 Anniversary front end fascia (below the grill) and made that the standard change for 2011.

I'm curious what else may be different on the '11 models. Seems like I read somewhere the instrument panel may have different lighting or something along those lines.
Enjoy your new ride!!!

It was an option already installed. Honestly, I wasn't a fan at first but it has grown on me. I love the added sporty look added to front fascia. Far as the instrument panel the only difference from the 08 to the 11 to me is the nav ring is illuminated instead of being black.
