Probably smarter to purchase a throw away car with a stick to learn on. Most likely could get one for 500-600 bucks, drive it until you really understand sticks and then pick up a 'G'. The next problem would be exactly how practical is the coupe? You may want one, but you do have a family coming with all of the things that come with it like strollers, diaper bags, car seats, and so on.

Get a 6speed sedan!

If you want the best looking car on the road...get the coupe. The coupe is one of the hottest car i've seen. And believe me, you'll be kicking yourself if you get the sedan. But since you're settling down and getting ready to have a family....I guess you can go with the boring sedan.....

ok well thanks for the replies, but i think we are going to get the m35x, thres one im looking at for $21,800 CAD silver with bourboun interior fully loaded, but has high kms (120 000) do you guys think that $17000 is a lame offer? also how much would i get for my 05 altima rock chips on front and tiny bit of body dmg like a scuff front quarter panel, but i got a new transmission under warrenty at 99997 so would this help? also got 18; wheels and winter wheels would i get like $10000 trade in? i still owe on it would his make them offer less? also was gona put down like $5000 on it. thanks. just dosent make sense to own 2 cars with a baby on the way. i know this isint the m35 forum but didnt feel like starting a new thread thanks also seen a black on black m35x (06)also fully loaded only 60 000k but they asking 27 999. i hate black.. i dont have a garage so its hard to keep clean

It'll be just fine, i purchased an '07 G35C 6MT as my first manual car. What i do recommend tho is find a friend of yours who drives stick to give you some pointers and hopefully would teach you on their car at least so you get the gist of it. I drove stick for about 2 hrs before purchasing my car, i was nervous as hell when i took it for a test drive tho haha i didnt want to look all retarded if i stalled on the test drive. The car is still like new with no problems. Simply tell the guy at the dealership that you are rusty and haven't driven stick in like 10 yrs haha. After purchasing it, I did stall a couple times, had difficulty parking on slopes and what not, but it'll become second nature in no time. DO IT!

Coupe or M35X?? big diff. If you want sporty, go with G35/7XIf you want floaty lux go M35Xmy .02

[kmckis1029]

get the sedan, a g35x, best of both worlds in my opinion... and since you have a kid coming you'll have the extra space you need with the fun you want
