I like the look. I considered them when shopping but didn't think it was a good idea for a 50K mile a year commuter since I could chew up 4 FRSs for the same cost of the very base version with no options.

Me too! I don't need to eat or live in a house! I can live in a tent and put the GTR in another tent! No thanks that'll go into retirement, and get me closer to the beach!

I'd venture to say many members on here can afford more expensive cars, but wanted something cheap but also fun. It makes plenty sense because we all have other shit we want to do with our money.

Just because one has money to blow, doesn't mean they should blow that money.
Agreed, I was on the hook for two cars. That's why I chose the FRS else I'd be driving a new GT. It's still settling but it's a fantastic lil car! Plus were trying to get on the beach!

Hurr Durr, no manual in the GTR, not a real car. Car does all the driving for you. You won't feel connected, something about rwd superiority, Hurr durr.

Still mildly suspicious of trolling but if you're not, congrats! I hope to pick up a used GTR in a few years. Even though the general consensus is that they are ugly I love how they look and the performance is just icing on the cake.

Depends on model year, lots of GTRs on the road with manuals.


I'm really hoping this is a semi troll and OP gets a legal R32. After importing and everything they're still around 20K for an extremely nice one.

Naw I'm full trolling. My engine is getting replaced under warranty but I'll probably have the FRS till I die... or wreck it so bad it can't be fixed
