I would've loved to test drive it with stick if they had one. I'm going to learn how to drive one soon as I think it's good to know how to drive both stick and auto. I have driven a stick before in a parking lot and around my house but it was a while ago so I'll have to get back at it and get more practice. The VQ engine is a nice engine and has awesome power and torque, it's just unfortunate that it's not as refined as a lot of its competitor's V6 engines. The G35 is definitely a car that you can't drive around town or during rush hour - it just doesn't understand the meaning of driving slow. That's great when you want the power but it makes it difficult in day-to-day driving. Still, it was a blast to drive and will certainly leave a grin on the face of anyone who drives it.
