There is no doubt that the Z is gorgeous and turns alot of heads, but it's just not for me. The blind spots are terrible, the stereo isn't great, it was terrible in the rain, and it scrapes everywhere (Sport Package spoiler). The Z also has a sporty suspension, but it's actually very nice for daily driving. The Z's interior is nicer than most sports cars in its price range, and feels very enclosed. Don't get me wrong, the Z is nice car, it's just not the performance machine I expected.
