neilf Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 From my understanding it basically comes:- With premium pack or without it? In manual or auto? If this is correct, what does the premium pack really offer? Also, is the auto OK, or should it be avoided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 From my understanding it basically comes:- With premium pack or without it? In manual or auto? If this is correct, what does the premium pack really offer? Also, is the auto OK, or should it be avoided? The premium pack designation is a bit of a fallacy, as the trim options are always a bit of a mix and match, it should include the Bose stereo system (later models often have a mini disc player as well) and leather & alcantara seats, but i have seen these in all sorts of combinations, so don't think that if its marked as "premium pack" it will always have these options. The majority of cars are only auto, manuals are rare, the manuals all have brembo brakes, and the autos non Brembo, but very occasionally you will find an auto with Brembos, but again this is an option. The auto box is apparently very good, heard no complaints yet, but it depends on your preference, personally i cant see the point in buying a sports coupe with an auto box.

I guess it's just that not many 350GTs come up, and when one comes up at the right price, in the right area, with the right spec, if it's an auto rather than manual, is that enough of a deal breaker for you. Especially when manuals are the exception!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paddle shift is an aftermarket kit, but yes they have tiptronic operated from the shifter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said all the other bits are options and like a lot of JDM car manufactures, they where very much a mix & match, as you can order virtually any combination form Japanese manufactures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said all the other bits are options and like a lot of JDM car manufactures, they where very much a mix & match, as you can order virtually any combination form Japanese manufactures OK, but at least some of it makes sense. So at least you can see the optional extras the car may/may not have etc... One I'm looking at seems the basic auto, but has the larger 7 spoke alloys for example, which I think look nicer. But then it doesn't have the rear spoiler, which was another option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
