I love Z cars and sportscars in general. I have a 370Z and I have an M45X.

You can live with almost any vehicle as a daily driver/only vehicle if you want to badly enough but overall, the Z, as will be most true sports cars, is not really intended for year round daily driving or for hauling much more than a weekend bag or a few groceries.

My 370Z’s ride is great – for a sports car but if I were making a 500 mile trip; I’d always be in the M45 (unless the whole point of the trip was a “Z” related event, etc).

If I lived in DC I just wouldn’t have a Z as my only vehicle unless you tend to use public transit and/or some other means to commute (at least in the winter). If you lived in Southern California or Florida or Texas it might be another story but even here in ennessee there is enough bad weather that my sports car doesn’t leave the garage for days at a time.

I certainly don’t want to put you off a “Z” but I would think long and hard about this before I’d spend $30K or more on something that doesn’t work for you in all the ways you need it to.
