Own an S4 along with the Z, so I can give you a somewhat basic comparison but obviously not a perfect one. They are quite different cars in just about every way, the most obvious being your 4 vs 2 doors, and RWD vs. AWD. As far as driving impressions, the Z to me has always felt more frantic, which I think is the combination of the noise in and out of the car, sharp steering, and the VQ engine. My S4 is far more of a cruiser, although I know the RS4 is much more stiff and edgier. The best advice is to drive the Z, and don't go simply off your memories of the 350.
