2010 Nissan 370Z

Pros: Great shape and Japanese build makes it more reliable than stuff from Europe or America. Nissan's warbling exhaust note is custom tailored for a 16 year old's ear though.

Cons: Paddle shifters are good enough for Ferrari - so it's good enough for me.

Summary: Only ancient car editors still whine about stick shifting being a plus - when the paddles outdo a stick every time, give you faster and more precise control and can possibly even be remapped through electronics to have different shift points!
