I'm only about a grand away from being able to afford it, but i don't know if its worth it or not to buy it if it only comes in manual shift. I know i could learn manual shift but it might take some time, and being that this car is going to become my daily driver, will i want to be manually shifting to get to and from school and work. The other option is to get the Nissan 370Z Touring, Sport, or Sport Touring, but if the NISMO is worth it then i'd rather get it instead
