My dad has the journey model and i am looking into getting a G within the next few years and im not sure if i want auto or 6mt. I drive his car every once in a while and i absolutely love it but i dont know if i would get bored of it just like my acura 3.2 cl which is auto. I would greatly appreciate your guys input. Thanks

A lot of the auto guys regret getting an auto, none of the 6MT guys regret not getting an auto. Go with the 6MT.


I personally went with the auto because I had a 6mt before and I hated driving in L.A. traffic for 3 hours of the day.

like stillballin said, i've not heard anyone regretting 6MT, but i have heard people regretting auto. for me, i KNOW i will not get tired of it, contrary to what my family told me. it's always a blast to drive. i guess it could get annoying in traffic, but it doesn't bother me.

6mt definately sounds like the better choice for me, i just hope infiniti comes out with the sport package and manual transmission on the awd G because i live in NJ and we get a significant amount of snow here in the winter

I've never owned anything but auto...with this car I had no interest in switching since I sit in about 1 hour of traffic to and from work everyday.

I looked everywhere for an auto and could not find one. I had to settle for a 6mt.

I would trade someone straight up for an auto if I could.

I got one because of traffic, and I don't regret it. With the hills and traffic I regularly drive in I would go nuts with a stick. And honestly, I don't even use the paddle shifters as much as I thought I would, I have plenty of fun letting the AT do the work.

This is weird, it's usually the other way around.

You had to settle for a 6mt? Thats strange.

Normally everywhere only has autos?

If your not in a city with traffic more than half of the day i say go with 6mt.. im in miami and any of the other miami guys here will tell you we get plenty of traffic and 6mt in traffic isnt too fun so i went with auto.

I agree WTF? I'm guessing this is his first MT and he doesn't know how to drive one...

To the OP... MT is fun to drive but sucks in traffic and hills. I think if you have long driving conditions from/to work or school or whatever you spend your days doing and you hit traffic a lot then AUTO might be best. I'm a first MT G owner since August 08 and I hated hills and traffic, I still do hate them both (mostly hills) but they have grown on to me over the months... traffic is like nothing now but I still hate it lol.. but hills I really hate since I drive throught NYC every couple of weeks and people ride up my bumper so it puts force on me to make sure I don't roll back.. but it's still growing on me and became easier since last summer.

People who actually enjoy driving a MT are not fazed by traffic, hills, or multitasking.

IMHO, if you're debating between MT and Automatic, you're more into Automatic cars.
