i have the 02 max and am looking for a stick car. do you guys think that it would be worth getting the 02 6speed? i am having a really tough time trying to decide

 

I dont think its worth it, if you really want to go fast, buy a "real" sports car thats manual.

But www.carvision.com does have some nice maxima's o2

 

you mean trading your auto for a 6 sp? I wouldn't because it's a hassle.

 

Trade a 2k2 auto for a 2k2 stick?

What a waste of money...but since you're letting a bunch of strangers make up your mind, as a 6-speed owner I say do it.

 

If you relate 4th gen 5spd vs autos, there's more of a difference in straight line performance numbers and dynos.

When doing the same comparison with the 5.5g, the difference is not as significant.
So if your choice lies within this difference, it's not worth it.

That's my .02

 

the white one on carvision was the one i was looking at. i juss wanted to see peoples opinions because i always wanted a stick car and still want one. and yea i was thinking of not trading it in but selling it privately. wat about some recommendations for any other car to get.

 

Here's a big list of cars I'd consider

 

I agree with these guys, the hassel is not worth it if your trading, but if your selling out right, and won't loose your ****, I would go with a 6 speed car any day. I almost held out for a 6 speed when I got my car, and some days I wish I had, but when I am stuck in traffic, i'm loving the auto for sure.

I would love to have an IS 300 with the manual transmission. Those cars are just so cool, and being RWD just makes is that much more fun to drive IMO. I also hear there is a lot of aftermarket parts for the IS300.

 

I love my 6 speed, but why didn't you get a MT in the first place?

 

uh, nice list. so you would consider everything?

 

because it was my car but other people in my family had to drive it at times too so i couldn't get stick. but my parents juss got a new car so da max is all mine

 

Here's your cookie.

Only I know what I want, so I'd click on "used cars" then "research prices and specs" then I'd click "sedan." Then I'd scroll through the lists for midsize, large, and performance and pick the years I'd be interested in.

Why is this a difficult concept?

 

What is the sole purpose for going with the manual over the auto?

Do the pros outweigh the cons for you?

 

I just bought an '03 stick and love it. If you are unsatisfied enough with your auto to ask us, then I think you've answered your own question. Good luck finding one though.

 

although autos are , trading for a 6 speed when you already
have an auto is even more

 

The difference in 6 speed vs auto, is dependant on how aggresivly you drive, and yea you know if your really nice with a manual, there is a great difference in what you can do. I probablly wouldn't change up personally, but if you love the car, and this is what you want, by all means go for it.


I'm not talking about drag racing (auto will probablly get a better launch usually anyways ... ), i know times are similar in either respect yet...
When your considering an aftermarket clutch and flywheel, options not available obviously to an auto, there are differences. a VB mod to an auto is nice... Yeti like controlling how hard the car shifts, it gets annoying when the car shifts hard all the time. I like having the ability to make my shifts as smooth or as aggressive as i want.

If you can shift very fast, the differences are noticable. Day to day driving, i wouldn't say there is much of a different.

 

Almost everyone has made good points already, so I don't anything more to say except I love my 6 speed... and if a trade wasn't too much of a hassle or financial burden, then just do it...

 

Go for it. I hate automatics. I get bored driving them.

 

Yeah and that too....

 

I would

 

sell it for right money and get 6spd. i got mine maybe a month ago and I’m loving it and i live in Brooklyn with traffic’s 24/7. If i would live some where like in NJ or PA i would get ONLY stick. But thats me

 

I have an auto, not complaining. I usually go with stick cuz it's fun to drive with but when I do a lot of stop and go traffic, auto is the ideal since changing gear in traffic is a pain and more wear and tear on the clutch but it's minor inconvience.

 

ah thanx for the comments. i think i'ma hang onto the auto and get sumthing else in the future. so now its time to start modding...wat to do wat to do
