Just wanted to know if there were any owners of the rare manual coupes from 2012?
It's a dream car of mine that I was unfortunately too young to purchase when they were new.
It'd be nice to know that there are people on this forum I can talk to about it!

Such a great car.... I remember tangling with one at the track right after I got my '03 G35 coupe, and it actually gave me hell.

Beware clutch issues. :cry:

@120 k, my $30 throw out mechanism failed (mechanic estimated 40k left on remainder of the system but I R&Red everything) and $2400 later, all is well.

Car remains the best I’ve ever owned in my 75 years.

After seeing this thread I did a search on Autotrader.. As long as you put in "any distance" several will pop up.
Make a long weekend out of it, fly to wherever the car is and drive it back :poke:

I've done that a couple of times.. :yesnod

2012 3.5sr only 40,000 miles and clutch sunk to floor yesterday. hopefully just master because you have to drop trans to get to the slave and clutch kits are 800 bucks at dealer. this is for sale by the way lol

I have a 2008 2.5 Coupe 6-speed MT and I thank my lucky stars every day I didn't let the dealer steer me to a CVT with his phony "you might have to wait until they build a manual in Japan!!" BS. I said "fine...I'll wait."
They found a MT in my color and trim in less than a week.
Best car I've ever owned by leaps and bounds.
