Drive a few more cars and you will get a better picture of what the car should feel like. To be honest though, the gearbox and clutch tie up is dreadful. Don't think you will get a great gear change ever. The European Product Manager for the GTR said the gearbox/ clutch assembly was poor on the 350z when I visited the Geneva Motor Show a couple of years ago. Later models have improved a bit but the whole set up is a real let down...................still love the car though
